Themed Reading Challenge ’09 Complete!

My theme for this challenge was NYT Notable Books from 2004-2008. I really wanted to read more than than the 4 required, but other challenges were also competing for my time.

My favorite book was Intuition, and I enjoyed Natasha and Other Stories and The View from Castle Rock as well.  I didn’t care for The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao at all, and it was a Pulitzer winner.

I have a list of some of the NYT Notable books on my blog, if you’re interested. Thanks, Wendy, for hosting again!

The books I read:

  1. Natasha and Other Stories by David Bezmozgis
  2. Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junor Diaz
  3. Intuition by Allegra Goodman
  4. The View from Castle Rock by Alice Munro (review to come)
