Books read - 2008!

	Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella Buy used from: £0.01 Not as funny as the previous ones.
	The Witches by Roald Dahl Buy new: £5.39 / Used from: £0.01 This is lovely -- 'It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like so long as somebody loves you'.
	The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown Buy new: £4.76 / Used from: £0.01 Treat it as a fictional work and you'll enjoy it.
	Wide Sargasso Sea (Norton Critical Editions) by J Rhys Buy used from: £1.90 A masterpiece on its own; invites you to read 'Jane Eyre' in a different light.
	When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro Buy used from: £0.01 I had expected it to be more exciting, and therefore I'm quite disappointed. By no means comparable to 'Remains of the Day'. Nonetheless, some parts of it are touching.
	Felicia's Journey by William Trevor Buy new: £5.88 / Used from: £0.01 Trevor's descriptive prose is first-rate.
	Miss Marple Omnibus: "Body in the Library", "Moving Finger", "Murder is Announced", "4.50 from Paddington" v.1: The Body in the Library / The Moving ... Is Announced", "4.50 from Paddington" Vol 1 by Agatha Christie Buy new: £9.48 / Used from: £0.24 Like what it's about human nature ...
	Life of Pi by Yann Martel Buy new: £5.40 / Used from: £0.01 One of the best, probably the best, I've read in recent years. Humourous, moving, courageous, imaginative ... I love it!
	Howards End (Penguin Modern Classics) by E.M. Forster Buy used from: £0.98 Conflicts of attitudes and classes.
	A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by Xiaolu Guo Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 Disappointing - setting the 'love' story (more lust-driven probably) against the backdrop of Chinese-English cultural conflicts sounds promising, but the book fails to live up to my expectation.
	The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger Buy new: £3.82 / Used from: £0.73 A touching love story with an imaginative concept of time-travel.
	The Road Home by Rose Tremain Buy new: £4.84 / Used from: £0.01 A humourous bittersweet portrayal of immigrant experience - recommended.
	The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova Buy new: £5.04 / Used from: £0.01 Don't find it particularly impressive and it's way too long! The author's effort in research should be commended though.
