There's that thing going around Facebook where you're supposed to do a list of 15 books that you've read and really enjoyed.
No one's tagged me. How were they thinking? Everyone knows I'm like the most well-read person EVER. Their loss. Hmmpf.
So, on popular demand...errrhmm...here's my list:
Elle's Top 15 Jolly Good Reads:
1. The Hotel New Hampshire - John Irving
2. Don't Let's Go To The Dogs Tonight - Alexandra Fuller
3. The Rum Diary - Hunter S. Thompson
4. The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy
5. Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
6. In My Father's Court - Isaac Bashevis Singer
7. The Horrific Sufferings of the Mind Reading Monster Hercules Barefoot - Carl-Johan Vallgren
8. All Families Are Psychotic - Douglas Coupland
9. A Sweet Scent of Death - Guillermo Arriaga
10. The People's Act of Love - James Meek
11. Green Hills of Africa - Ernest Hemingway
12. Beautiful Losers - Leonard Cohen
13. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - Andrew Collins
14. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles - Haruki Murakami
15. Lowboy - John Wray
This is, without over-thinking, my fairly spontaneous list. That's the point, you see, it's supposed to be the first 15 good books that spring to mind. Aaaahhh...yes.
Feel free to leave your own list as a comment. I'm always on the prowl for reading tip-offs.
Next time I think I'll do a list like this, but with 15 jolly good albums. Oooh the suspense! Can you endure?!
