My Reading List for 2014

The New Year is usually a time to make lists; lists of resolutions, lists of things to do, places to go to and the like. And so inspired by a colleague who has a neat list of books she wishes to read in 2014 pinned up at her desk, I too have come up with my reading list for this year.

Here goes my list in complete random order:

1.    The Lowland: Jhumpa Lahiri

2.    Tiny Beautiful Things: Cheryl Strayed

3.    Norwegian Wood: Haruki Murakami

4.    Open City: Teju Cole

5.    Sex and the Citadel: Shereen El Feki

6.    Those Pricey Thakur Girls: Anuja Chauhan

7.    Such a Long Journey: Rohinton Mistry

8.    The Bastard of Istanbul: Elif Shafak

9.    Homesick (short stories): Roshi Fernando

10.  Nobody Can Love You More: Mayank Austen Soofi

11.  NW: Zadie Smith

12.  The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society: Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

13.  A Fine Balance: Rohinton Mistry

14.  Matilda: Roald Dahl

15.   Delhi Noir: Hirsh Sawhney

16.  The Good Muslim: Tahmima Anam

17.  I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts About Being a Woman: Nora Ephron

18.  Where'd You Go Bernadette: Maria Semple

19.  Attachments: Rainbow Rowell

20.  Chasing the Monsoon: Alexander Frater

That was my list for this year. Probably I’m being a little too ambitious, but is there anything else you’d recommend?
