The best of the last hundred
In 2019, I started a Google Doc in which I decided to put every book I read. I have, since then, read exactly 100 books. Here were my 15 favourites, in no particular order:
Embers — Sandor Marai
Isolde — Irina Odoyevsteva
A Heart So White — Javier Marias
The Interestings — Meg Wolitzer
Slow Days, Fast Company — Eve Babitz
Fleishman Is In Trouble — Taffy Brodesser-Akner
Before My Time — Niccolo Tucci
Fabulous Nobodies — Lee Tulloch
I Served The King Of England — Bohumil Hrabal
Ablutions — Patrick DeWitt
Casanova: A Study In Self Portraiture — Stefan Zweig
Priestdaddy — Patricia Lockwood
Vagabonds! — Eloghosa Osunde
Under The Frog — Tibor Fischer
The Raptures — Jan Carson
Enjoy!
(Note: I did not include a few classics I only recently got round to reading — The Master And Margarita; The Secret History; etc — as everyone knows they are good already)
