Everyone involved in writing, blogging, or publishing, as this time of the year commands, list top things/songs/movies they loved or hated. I have thus compiled my own list of books that I read during 2011 and would highly recommend. I am not a book expert by any means, but I have read a hell load of books of a broad range and am interested in reading more and exploring more. So here it goes:
1. "Never let me go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. A twisted yet brilliant story of cloned kids intended to be used as transplant donors who grow up as teenagers and challenge their own emotional capacity when confronted with the brutal reality
2. "Birdsong" by Sebastian Faulks on the brutality and love co-existing in the lives of soldiers during the First World War and how their story remains to be traced back by latest generations seeking their roots
3. "Room" by Emma Donoghue on a woman and her newborn baby growing up under captivity in a room and the challenges they face in the perspective of the outside world
4. "Solar" by Ian McEwan, simply a brilliant and intelligent writing on the complicated life of an old physicist trying to save the world by solar power but ruining his own life
5. "A week in December" by Sebastian Faulks, looking through the keyhole in the lives of otherwise common everyday Londoners
