I have been keeping tabs on some interesting looking books with the hope of getting around to some of them one day. However, it does not appear that I will be completing my current book anytime soon. Maybe you guys can do something with this list in the meantime.
- The Dreamlife of Sukhanov by Olga Grushin - (From a review in the NYT)
- A Writer at War by Vasily Grossman - (Also from NYT)
- The Thin Place by Kathryn Davis (from Bookslut)
- The Memory Artists by Jeffrey Moore (from Bookslut)
- New Orleans, Mon Amour by Andre Codrescu (it’s just on my list)

- Freedom Riders by Raymond Arsenault (universal praise everywhere)
- The Accidental by Ali Smith (nominated for Booker Prize)
