There's Always Danny - Jean Ure
Say Goodbye - Jean Ure
The Life and Soul of the Party - Mike Gayle
Wish You Were Here - Mike Gayle
Faces of Humph - Humphrey Lyttleton
Mrs 'Arris Goes to Paris - Paul Gallicoe

Finishing up the Jean Ure trilogy. Vanessa is more annoying that I remembered, and Kate less so, but then I have developed increased sympathy for people who are a bit clueless. I did not much enjoy the Mike Gayle books (though thank you very much for lending them to me, [livejournal.com profile] huskyteer!). Partly I'm not all that keen on perspective shifts in books. Humph's cartoons were just lovely, as was Mrs 'Arris Goes to Paris. I did start reading about Mrs 'Arris in New York, but I didn't get to see what happened.


Everything I read in 2009 in list form, and in a table:



In 2008 I read 126 books, of which 17 were rereads. So only slightly fewer books this year, but more rereads. I am not sure how this will change post-PhD, and I suppose it depends on if I get a job, and what that ends up being. I am trying to follow along with [livejournal.com profile] wanderingrocks and read Ulysses, which I think will be quite time consuming.
