A propos de ma bibliothèque
I am mainly cataloguing books that I currently own: I tend to buy rather than borrow books, because I have found that I have a desperate need to own any book that I enjoy. My taste in books is reasonably broad, though I have little interest in sci-fi or fantasy (with the occasional exception). Any recommendations for reading material will be gladly taken on board!!

Top books of 2011:

Hmmm - not a good reading year. I didn't read very many books at all, and those I did read weren't exactly earth shattering - so none I would highly recommend. Here's to a better reading year in 2012.

Top books of 2010:

The Art of Racing in the Rain: Garth Stein
People of the Book: Geraldine Brooks
The Cellist of Sarajevo: Steven Galloway

Top books of 2009:

The Elegance of the Hedgehog: Muriel Barbery
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society: Mary Ann Shaffer

A Prayer for Owen Meany: John Irving

A propos de moi
While I would like to describe myself as an avid reader, I'm more of a 'frustrated' reader these days as work and other parts of life encroach on the time I have available for reading.
