2015 Reading Highlight

I find it difficult to state my 2015 top ten must read because I only read 20 books and I wouldn't be sincere if I say that half of the books read were top ten must read. I was not that lucky. However, I can say that some of the books were outstandingly interesting and engaging, they were:





In no order of preference:

  1. Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight by Alexandra Fuller
  2. Waiting for an Angel by Helon Habila
  3. Admiring Silence by  Abdulrazak Gurnah
  4. Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese

Abdulrazak Gurnah's novel was highlighted last year and was my 2014 book of the year, again this year it is being highlighted. Will it be my book of the year again? Have you read any or all of the novel mentioned above? What is your opinion? Let me read your thoughts before I announce my 2015 book of the year.

    1. He is a really good writer...though I can only say for the ones I have read and review here. By the sea and Admiring Silence I highly recommend. Do you have any one in particular on your shelf at the moment?
