What I've been buying - December 2007

December is always a source of reading delights for me, combining as it does both Christmas, and my birthday. My favourite way to celebrate getting one year older is to enter a bookshop, arm myself with a basket, and fill it up.

War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy
Walls and Piece - Banksy
The Pursuit of Love - Nancy Mitford
Death and the Penguin - Andrey Kurkov
Time's Arrow - Martin Amis
Answering Back - ed. Carol Ann Duffy
Swann's Way - Marcel Proust
Vertigo - W. G. Sebald
Accidental Death of an Anarchist - Dario Fo
Notes from the Underground - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Misanthrope - Moliere
Summer in Baden-Baden - Leonid Tsypkin
At Large and At Small - Anne Fadiman
Labyrinths - Jorge Luis Borges
A Home at the End of the World - Michael Cunningham
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card

I'm sure there are a few others that have slipped the nets, as my LibraryThing profile says that I added 29 books in December. Yikes.
