...brought to us by one of my favourite book stores EVAR, Green Apple Books. I was just on their blog this morning and saw that they posted their Top 10 Most Sold in 2009 list. Quite interesting to see indie store numbers. Some interesting reads on the list. Check 'em out. Thoughts? Read any of them?
10. The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan - (I've been meaning to read this myself. I ran into quite a few folks reading this on the muni a few days ago. Came out in 2006 and still trucking along. Also part of Food Inc. Just watched the movie. HIGHLY recommend it.)
9. If You Want to Write by Brenda Ueland
8. The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
7. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson - (I've been intrigued with this book for a while. Have not heard much about the plot however I keep seeing the book around and seen a few friends say they've enjoyed it. I suppose I will add it on my "to-read" list)
6. City of Thieves by David Benioff
5. The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
4. Zeitoun by Dave Eggers - (Definitely on my list of books I've had my eye on.)
3. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz - (in the midst of reading this one already! Sneaking in pages as I finish another. Perhaps I will make this next month's book club read. Recommended by Liz at Chevalier's Books in Larchmont and everyone seems to love it. Thoughts so far? Me likey. Yes, I said "likey".)
2. Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson
1. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith - (Okay, I was hesitant to read this book along with the others in the series however many tell me it's funny and entertaining. I might have to give it a shot. Perhaps it will also make me want to re-read Austen's classic. Speaking of Austen, has anyone watched the movie "Lost in Austen"? Netflix highly recommended it to me however I could not get into it once I started. I gave it 10-15 minutes.)
