THE ANTI-ROOM - BOOKS WE LIKED IN 2010
We did our Books We Liked in 2010 post on the Anti-Room. Mine included Patrick Chapman's The Darwin Vampires and Tom Vowler's The Method. Go see what we liked here.
Cool choices. "You" was certainly one of my faves! I also liked Barbara Kingsolver's "The Lacuna" and a couple of older books I only just came to - poetry: "Boat People" by Tim Jones ("Smaills Beach" sums up exactly the pull of NZ); "Realia" by Kate Camp (really feisty stuff - and my word verification is "reali"!); and "The Other Side Of The Brain" by Gordon Challis ("Walking An Imaginary Dog" a favourite poem in there).

Thanks for the recs, Rachel.
