The first 3 books you listed were also ones I read in 2009 (although I only included one of them on my year end list, they were all excellent). I’m gonna put a few of your other suggestions on my to-read list. Thanks.

A late night net trawl landed me here. I’ve enjoyed perusing your blog. I’ve read the Casares, Carr, Kertesz, Price, Rosales and Wolfe titles (and the Aira has been sitting by my bedside book basket all year but haven’t got around to it, although I did enjoy “How I Became A Nun”); all fine choices. I’m sure I’ll be checking in periodically. Cheers.

Thanks for an interesting list- I’ve really enjoyed A Month in the Country, Lush lIe, Old School and good old Wodehouse so will have to try your other picks. Maxwell and Walser await.

Merry Christmas to your and your family too.

Absolutely great list. I have only read one of the books on your list (Old School), but it was very good. I have Clockers waiting and Sebald was already a must for 2010. Your list guarantees, though, that I will now pick up The Halfway House and, probably, The Pathseeker and The Tanners. Basically, it is starting to look like my 2010 list will be made up of selections from your and a few other trusted bloggers' best of 2009 lists. I am going to try to find some books on my own.....if I can determine why that feels necessary at all.

I also loved Wolff’s work.

Merry Christmas with Mrs. B and the kiddies.

Of course I’m thrilled to see others reading books I’ve loved, Amy. Enjoy them and come back to share your thoughts :)!
