When I was travelling, I had lots of time for reading and little time for updating LJ. Hence I have a huge backlog of books I need to post reviews of. I haven't been doing so well since I got back to Stockholm and got sucked into the festival season, either. So here are the first batch of books that I have read recently and not got round to posting about until now:

Michael Marshall Smith: One of us

Colum McCann: Dancer

Rose Tremain: The colour

Madeleine L'Engle: A wind in the door

Still to come from the summer:

Jack Womack: Elvissey

Tim Powers: The Anubis gates (reread)

John Steinbeck: The grapes of wrath (reread)

John Fowles: The ebony tower (short story collection)

Kate Chopin: The awakening

Desmond Bagley: The enemy

Jasper Fforde: The Eyre Affair

Monica Ali: Brick Lane
