As the fin de l'annee approaches, I find myself thinking of reading goals for next year. I think I would like you to be my inspiration. So I'm thinking of hoping to read:
1. Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels, something I think I've heard mention as one of your favorite books?
2. The Consolations of Philosophy by Alain de Botton, an author you introduced me to.
3. something by Agatha Christie, one of your loves but someone I haven't read since seventh grade.
4. Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood, something you mentioned reading recently, though to be honest the main inspiration for this one was your Mom.
5. ???
Could you please recommend to me a fifth book? Something you love and think people, me in particular, should read?
Many thanks!
Michelle

challenge accepted!
if you want to add in even more canadian content, try "murther and walking spirits," by robertson davies. i know amanda is also a fan of his :)
if you want to throw in some non-fiction, try a malcolm gladwell book. i think i liked "what the dog saw" best.
also, dickens' "great expectations" is phenomenal!
Yay, I have "What the Dog Saw" on my waiting-to-be-read bookshelf right now! I borrowed it from my Mom... nine months ago? So I really need to read and return it to her!
The others sound good too. Thank you very much for sharing!
