Books in random order:

Middlemarch by George Eliot

The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa

The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant

Independent People by Halldor Laxness was hard reading, but it taught me so much about the growth of Iceland.

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami was one of the longest books I've ever read, but was such a mixture of fantasy and science fiction and magical realism that I was swept away.

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

A Change of Circumstance by Susan Hill

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson

Black Girls must die Exhausted by Jayne Allen
