Hey, narj! Looks like you had a great year in reading, what with no worst book. Also read The Prestige this year and I really liked it. But it still doesn't beat the P@#!na Hillary Mantel book. ;P
ReplyDeleteI will find that P@#$!na book by Hillary Mantel and rule the World! hahaha =P
ReplyDeletewow! you got a list. I also started to list down books I'm reading this year. I'm also very careful in choosing what I read, so as not to have that "worst read" moment. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Narj. It was easier for me to choose my worst read. Not the best of reading years.
