The Unbearable Lightness of Being: A Novel (Perennial Classics)

Le cÂœur est un muscle involontaire

by Monique Proulx

There is a line in this book about how most 300 page books are 250 pages too long. How ironic.

Un dimanche à la piscine à Kigali: Roman

by Gil Courtemanche

Like most of the books I haven’t finished yet, I had to return this one to the library before I was able to finish it. It was tough to read, so it took me a long time.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Harry Potter Box Set

The last book is my least favourite so far, but I, of course, can’t wait for the next one.

A story about "The Da Vinci Code"

The Da Vinci Code

by Dan Brown

This book is terrible, and I say this as someone who both likes trashy mystery thrillers and is interested in the histories of christianity and paganism. The book massacres both. Plus, the writing is just plain bad.

Homicide : A Year on the Killing Streets

If Homicide: Life on the Street was your favourite television show ever, then you basically have to read this book.

How to Be Good

by Nick Hornby

How to be boring and unlikeable, while trying too hard to be quirky and loveable.
