This is a great list and you have picked lots of books here that I am interested in. I have not read the two crime fiction you picked so I will see how you like them.

I discovered Dürrenmatt this morning. The plot intrigued me…judge let’s a known killer free…and here’s the clue…so that person can kill someone the judge wants dead! Reading Deep South now….it is very good, so far. Thanks for stopping by.

I have From the Edge tucked away somewhere on my TBR pile. The Bean bio has intrigued me too. He was born in the town where my parents live & I read lots of his work when I studied WWI history at school & uni.
Good luck with getting through your list – I just finished book 4 on the weekend – so may actually get all 20 read this year!

You had your list ready to go on 01 June…I still was not sure if I would join. Your weekend in the mountains reading was a great way to ‘keep up the momentum ‘. I’m surprised how good Deep South is by Paul Theroux…was shortlisted for Wainwright Prize last year. Mark McKenna and P. Rees are both ‘blind dates’ as well. Thanks for your comments!

I think the rate at which I’m bringing books into my apartment has been higher than the rate at which I can read them this year! I definitely need to cut back 🙂 I hope this challenge helps you get to the ones you’re most excited about!

That is a new record for me! Thanks for stopping by!
