Being a compulsive list maker I keep these lists of suggestions at hand when I make up my own reading pool. As usual, since I haven’t read many of these suggested titles, I can’t really guarantee they will be just what you’re looking for. Still, the titles I highlighted during January will hopefully give you some suggestion for reading. I have marked those I have read in blue so I might be able to make further comments if you are interested in reading one of those books yourself.
I’ve noticed I tend to suggest novels but there is far more to look into reading than just novels. I was educated mostly in poetry and drama with very little exposure to novels. I’ll have to start throwing in more variety: novels, poetry, dramas, epics, memoirs, maybe even more non-fiction.
