Per my "I'm going to do more reading this year" resolution, I've put together a preliminary list of books I want to tackle (not necessarily in this order) based on a perusal of stuff I've accumulated on my shelves. Actually, I don't own the last title by Walker Percy, but I'm hoping I can get it at the library. Also, if I should stumble across a copy of New Orleans, Mon Amour by Andrei Codrescu, that will probably get bumped toward the top. So, here they are:
Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
The Lone Surfer of Montana, Kansas by Davy Rothbart
No Place, Louisiana by Martin Pousson
The Man Who Watched Trains Go By by Georges Simenon
The Trial of True Love by William Nicholson
Running the Bulls by Cathie Pelletier
City of Mazes and Other Tales of Obsession by Cynthia Hendershot
Gatsby's Girl by Caroline Preston
Miss Misery by Andy Greenwald
Serpent Girl by Matthew Carnahan
Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathanael West
Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book by Walker Percy
I'm not much of a reviewer but I'll try to post my impressions of what I read.
