More great books to read

October 2nd, 2009

There are too many, but here’s a small selection of recent discoveries:

  • Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl
  • The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
  • City of Thieves by David Benioff

On a less-happy note, the second book by Carlos Ruiz Zafon called The Angel’s Game was a major disappointment. It is difficult to believe that the same author wrote The Shadow of the Wind, which was absolutely great.

Great reading
