I have had this strong feeling coming up. You know, the one where one can't resist any longer, where one needs to lay hand on new books. At least new books to me as they are all gently used.
I got The Blind Assasin by Margaret Atwood, Geisha of Gion by Mineko Iwasaki, Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel and The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai. All but Geisha of Gion are Man Booker Prize Winners. I bought the books used or got them from Bookmooch.
Have you read any of them?
I really want to read The Inheritance of Loss!
ReplyDeleteWolf Hall wasn't for me, although it was a wonderful piece of writing. I hope you enjoy it more than I did :)
Nice! Wolf Hall is a book I also want to read, but The Inheritance of Love I didn't enjoy much. I got confused with the characters and the story was slow-going. Hopefully you'll enjoy it more.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading both books, although I heard many people mentioning that The Inheritance of Loss wasn't for them. Well, as always I have to see for myself.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these, but I've got a copy of Wolf Hall, and a copy of The Blind Assassin on my shelf waiting to be picked up. I'll be interested to read your thoughts of them, if you do review them. I love second hand books, especially the ones with little marks and tears and bends - I reckon they look loved :-)
ReplyDeleteI have Wolf Hall and The Blind Assassin to read but I am always slightly put off by brick sized books.
ReplyDeleteI have Wolf Hall (my copy is same design, but white) and Geisha of Gion on my shelves but not read yet.
ReplyDeleteIt seems many people have Wolf Hall waiting. Maybe we should do a read-along of some sorts some time. Is anybody interested?
