Re: Fifty book challenge 2009

1. Diary of a Wife - Anias Nin
2. Scoop - Evelyn Waugh
3. Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination - Helen Fielding
4. The Weight of Water - Anita Shreve
5. A Wedding in December- Anita Shreve
6. The Unconsoled - Kazuo Ishiguro
7. Love, Etc. - Julian Barnes
8. Vienna - Eva Menasse
9. The Family Way - Tony Parsons
10. A Girl's Guide to Modern European Philosophy - Charlotte Grieg
11. Twilight - Stephenie Meyer


12. The Pilot's Wife - Anita Shreve

I really like the way Anita Shreve writes. There is always a combination of past and present, and her stories never have a lovey-dovey happy ending, but there is almost always something of hope in the end, She paints her characters as truly human and flawed.
