August Reading List

Reading list - August 2011

Elise of Pennyweight just shared her reading list on her lovely blog, and I thought it is a great idea to share books recommendations and encourage each other to read more.
Fancy joining the spontaneous Book Club?

Here is my reading list for August. I'm already half way through Ghostwritten - it is the first novel by one of my favorite authors - David Mitchell, and I enjoy it to bits. I really don't want it to end but at the same time I can't wait to read the rest of the books on my list.
What about you? Have you read any of the above? What's on your reading list for August?

August reading list: Ghostwritten by David Mitchell // Great House by Nicole Krauss (thank you Hila for the recommendation!) // White Teeth by Zadie Smith \\ An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin (thank you Elise for the recommendation!)

Have a great weekend lovelies!! xx


P.S. Check out Elise's reading list for more great books recommendations!

  1. I absolutely LOVE that first book cover. It's upside down!? Beautiful! I may just read it because of its cover.

    I myself are reading the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami now,
    next will be The Dewey Decimal System by author/musician Nathan Larson.

  4. Carolina - I knew you will notice this cover! :) It reminded me of your works right away!

    Lamina - I know what you mean, in some time when your little one will grow, I'm sure you'll find the time again!

  5. Oh ... your books look and sound interesting (I did a little googling about each of them). At the moment I'm finishing off 'I Capture the Castle' ... but beyond that, I haven't chosen what's next ... though you've inspired me to have a think about it sooner rather than later! :)

    I hope your weekend has treated you well dear Galit.

  6. I love reading lists! These all look really good. Right now I am re-reading 'Mara and Dann' by Doris Lessing (one of my favourite books!) and next I'm not sure... I've been in the mood for fantasy novels lately, so I might read 'Game of Thrones'.

  7. I've been wanting to read An Object of Beauty. I loved Shopgirl! Steve Martin is full of surprises.
