Two days' worth of Guardian books
Two days’ worth of Guardian novels to report here, because of last night’s distractions. Thanks again to drasecretcampus for supplying the lists. They are two particularly odd selections.
I have read only 24 out of 145 of the Guardian’s the “Family and Self” selection, with another four started but not finished. It is interesting that they have chosen a number of comics in this section - my pick of the lot is Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home. The selection also includes Proust as a single unit.
I did far worse on the “State of the Nation” selection - presumably these are meant to be the more political novels, and I actually work in politics, but nonetheless scored a mere 17 out of 133. My picks are boringly conventional, Middlemarch, Les Miserables and Vanity Fair.
