Whats the best book you've read this year???

[Love2bake]

Mine would be The Kite Runner.

Child 44.

The Mitford Girls biog and Jonathan Coe - Rain before it falls.

I have the Kite Runner 3rd on my list of To Be Reads !

Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse - not deep and meaningful but sooooooooooo absorbing

Just reading Andrew Taylor's new one,'Bleeding Heart Square' and it is superb.Am rationing myself to a chapter a day so i don't devour it in one go!

The Glass Books of the Dream-Eaters by G.W. Dahlquist if you want a looooong one, or Atonement if you're after something shorter.

I have a fairly heaving reading list ahead of me over the summer but so far...

The People's Act Of Love by James Meek.

ooh yes LadyK the Dreameaters book is a real guilty pleasure

however

Sarah Hall's Haweswater

A thousand Splendid Suns

Easter by Michael Arditti. Brilliant.

Agent ZigZag

26a

The girls

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Just ordered The Kiterunner. Can't wait to read it.

The Lay of the Land - Richard Ford

The Kiterunner here. Have 1000 Splendid Suns ready to read once I've finished Digging to America

Ferneyit's beautiful

Dunno about best, but Trust Nobody & He Kills Coppers & The Woods were good.

I have just finished Julie Orringer's How to Breathe Underwater which I loved.

Magician's Assistant, Anne Pratchett.
really good.

Also, Someone Call the Midwife, might be Jennifer Woth?
Very interesting.

On Chesil Beach, Ian McEwan
Beautifully crafted

The secret life of a slummy mummy- just finished it - laughed my socks off.

Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell (?? - I think that was his name anyway). Fab book.

Patrick Gale- Notes on An Exhibition. Comforting and not depressing like alot of the other books I have read recently. I found Thousand Splendid Suns compelling but very disturbing.

Secret life of a slummy mummy. SUPERB!
