Bel Ami by Guy de Maupassant, Life by Keith Richards and the new Cleopatra. Oh yeah, Time Was Soft There and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet.

Have been looking forward to “Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind: A Bestseller’s Odyssey from Atlanta to Hollywood” by Ellen Brown. Have heard is an interesting history of GWTW.

I recently finished Gabrielle Hamilton’s ‘Blood, Bones and Butter (coming out in March), and am working on David Grossman’s ‘To the End of the Land’. I have a long list of possibilities for my 52books project this year, which at this rate might end up being 150 books.
I manage a cookbook store, so the effort will be to read outside of the cookbook/food memoir comfort zone! Bill Bryson ‘At Home’, Twyla Tharp’s ‘The Creative Habit’, Verghese’s ‘Cutting for Stone’, and Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist’ are all coming up soon.

I’m looking forward to reading Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom, John Updike’s In the Beauty of the Lilies, Vol. 1 of Edward Gibbon’s The History of the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire and any Algonquin books at hand. You guys never disappoint (have already read two Algonquin titles in 2011 — both gems: The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey and Settled in the Wild by Susan Hand Shetterly).

I have my eye on The Selected Stories of Mercè Rodoreda (Open Letter), Montecore by Jonas Hassen Khemiri (Random House), and The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine (Europa Editions).
BTW, I LOVED The Girl Who Fell From the Sky.
