Next up: Diary of a Bad Year — J.M. Coetzee

The Road — Cormac McCarthy  (dark, fragmented, couldn’t stop)
Motherless Brooklyn — Jonathan Lethem  (intriguing character with Tourette’s, really enjoyed the narrative, detective story)

Older: I just finished Elizabeth Costello by J.M. Coetzee. I was blown away. I read Disgrace a few months ago and then picked this up for a flight. It was a downer for me at times, but I highly recommend it.

Also, Words Without Borders is an excellent compilation of short stories, essays and poetry from writers around the world.

Finished:
