“There has been yet another update to the list in 2010, so this time the challenge has only one option:
Read 13 titles from the combined list (of 1294 titles) from April 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011.
Overlaps with other challenges are allowed, and you may change your list at any time.”
There’s a list of the included books on the Challenge Blog and here‘s where I talked about joining.
Here are the books that I was thinking of straight-off:
1. E.M. Forster’s Howard’s End
2. Zadie Smith’s On Beauty
3. Morrison’s Song of Solomon
4. Rose Tremain’s The Colour
5. Margaret Drabble’s The Red Queen
6. Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions
And, since then, I’ve been thinking of adding these:
7. Alice Walker’s Possessing the Secret of Joy OR Temple of My Familiar
8. Andrea Levy’s Small Island
9. Miyuki Miyabe’s Crossfire
10. Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake
11. A.L. Kennedy’s Everything You Need
12. Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People
13. David Markson’s Wittgenstein’s Mistress
