As crazy as things have been over the summer and this fall, I have managed to read a slew of books. And I promise that reviews--as brief as they're liable to be--are coming. Here is the list:
All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy
Lust by Susan Minot
The Easter Parade by Richard Yates
Hunger by Knut Hamsun
The Death of Sweet Mister by Daniel Woodrell
Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson
Dear American Airlines by Jonathan Miles
No One Belongs Here More than You by Miranda July
Child of God by Cormac McCarthy
The Moviegoer by Walker Percy
Looking forward to seeing what you think of Hamsun - and Petterson, whom I haven't read yet, but I've have seen comparisons made of him to Hamsun which has me intrigued.
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the truth, I hadn't even made the connection between the two until I was well into Petterson. And for a preview, I thought one of the two was far better than the other.
