Cool…my aunt just gave me The Echo Maker! Now I am looking forward to it even more!
Hey, great list! I had The Echo Maker on my TT list, and a Cormac McCarthy novel — do great minds run in the same track, or what?
Gonna have to check out the others you listed! Happy TT, and thank you for visiting my blog.
Oh, dear, and I’d only heard of Stephen King’s newest release. Great list!
I just read a review for Suite Francaise yesterday. It sounds interesting, doesn’t it?
This is such a great list. I’m a bibliophile too. My list last week was all about books that made an impression on me as a writer. I have several of these on my reading list for 2007 too. Thanks for sharing.
My TT #4 is up.
I’ve been pondering Suite Francaise and The Inheritance of Loss. Oh, and Half a Yellow Sun.
Too many books!
I haven’t heard of any of these, but I will check some of them out. Hopefully you’ll give us a few reviews.
