I would share details, but I always wait until the 31st to write a detailed blog post Larry Send a noteboard - 18/12/2011 08:12:36 PM
I'm not going to ask a number, just tell us which books you most enjoyed and why. They can be new releases, classics, whatever you've read and loved.

And, to make it more interesting, did you read anything you really didn't enjoy? Did you finish reading it, if so? What was so "bad" about it?


But I may bend that in a day or so (or even later today) and share a sort of "longlist" of 2011 releases that were very good (it'd be near 50 books) and maybe 100 books from previous years that were outstanding.

Well, there's always Proust, Bierce, and James to whet appetites, I suppose ;)

As there are only two weeks left in 2011, how about you tell us your best reads for the year? Rebekah - 18/12/2011 11:21:19 AM 1377 Views

In Cold Blood was probably the best, Black Out/All Clear was pretty bad. *NM* Orange - 19/12/2011 10:57:23 AM 462 Views
