Just thought I should catalogue the list of non-academic-related books I read, which I started to do so last year on Twitter. The bulk of it was done over the long summer, plus one more in December. There is no time for leisure reading during term time for sure.
Fiction:
Max Brooks - World War Z
Cormac McCarthy - The Road
Cormac McCarthy - No Country for Old Men
Robert Harris - Fatherland
Margaret Atwood - Alias Grace
Jamie O'Neill - At Swim, Two Boys
Jose Saramago - Blindness
Evelyn Waugh - Brideshead Revisited
David Leavitt - The Lost Language of Cranes
Non-fiction:
Noam Chomsky - Failed States
Michael Pollan - In Defense of Food
Naomi Klein - The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
Leffler M. & Legro J. (Eds) - To Lead the World: American Strategy after the Bush Doctrine
Joseph Stiglitz - Globalization and its discontents
Bertrand Russell - Why I am not a Christian & Other Essays
Of them all, At Swim, Two Boys, The Road, and The Shock Doctrine joined my list of all-time favourites.
