Looking at this list, I feel that it's not very impressive. Five books in two months? Yeah, Sarah. Doing real well there. But, well, White Teeth is over 450 pages, The Magicians is over 400, Stone's Fall is 600, and Kafka on the Shore is almost 500. So...I've been reading a lot of long books.
I think my next book will be The End of the Affair. I've actually never read any Graham Greene.
