The Black Album by Hanif Kureishi (given to me as a gift, I started it but put it down and haven't picked it back up)
Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernières (started but taking a break to read other stuff - very cool as I visited the town in Turkey on which the one in the novel is based this summer)
The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman, Book 2 in the His Dark Materials trilogy (picked it up from a friend who is leaving Singapore and purging her bookshelf)
The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb (I read it in August and thoroughly enjoyed it)
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout (I read it while on holiday in July and it was good)
The Brief and Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Dìaz (I heard an interview with the author sometime in early 2009 and read the book in July or August - quite a good book)
Born to Run by Christopher McDougall (on loan to me from the school library of a teacher-librarian friend - I haven't started it yet)
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (checked out to me from our middle school library and the book I'm currently reading)
