I have A Pale View of Hills on my list already, so I added The Unconsoled too, and Her Fearful Symmetry.
I hope you enjoy them, Devi, I have read all three and enjoyed them very much

I read War and Peace at work, although I often managed to devote a whole lunch hour to it rather than just 5 minutes here and there. I'm not sure I would have made my way through it any other way,, as if I had had other books nearby to tempt me I might well have given up!

I'm just over half way through The Snowman by Jo Nesbo, absolutely loving it.
I love that series, read quite a few of them this year, very absorbing!

I finished Slaughterhouse 5 a couple of days ago
I have been meaning to read this for the last few years, perhaps 2013 will be the year I finally get round to it!

Oh, I hadn't been keeping up to date, and hadn't noticed there was another Dalhousie novel out - I love them too, it's going straight on my wishlist!

Thanks for the review on the Red Tent, Janet . Like Chrissy i've had it on my shelves for ages but i'm definitely going to dust it off for a new year read
I read it too, and enjoyed it

Treebooks looks a nice, friendly word. I have previously seen them referred to as "dead tree editions" which made me feel a bit sad!

That Tin Tin set looks lovely! Takes me back to my childhood when the cartoons were on every holiday

I like disturbing too.
Even if they aren't the best books, they often leave a long after-taste. Have you read A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro? That's a very disturbing book, but with such subtlety. I don't know how the author did it, but you can just feel a sense of menace as you read the book, on an almost subconscious level.I agree - and The Unconsoled (also by Kazuo Ishiguro) is also very subtly disturbing. It's quite a bit longer, over 500 pages, but a very compelling read. It's probably about ten years since I read it, but it still makes me feel a bit unsettled when I think about it now.
