What I Loved - Siri Hustvedt

I have this & really enjoyed it... you should borrow.

ok!

Its also kinda lopsided - I thought there were far too many books in the 2000s than probably will last the distance. It *seems* like the right list - but then there were things I didn't remember ... but its a long list so ..

Yes - totally lopsided - also with the having heaps of stuff by single authors.

I have the problem with going "oh yes, I know that! I must have read it."

When actually, all that has happened is I have heard about a film (not even necessarily seen the film), and heard that it was based on a book.

:(

Luckily my movie history is really sparse and once something's been made into a movie I don't read it because I'm a snob...
