Roger McNamee's Reading List For 2013
2013 has been a fun year in novels. Here is my reading list, in order of preference.
Two of these novels really shine: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt and The Circle by Dave Eggers. The Circle addresses a fundamental issue of its time in a way that is accessible to all ... much as would have been the case with Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984. The Goldfinch is a more traditional novel ... but a truly exceptional one. For me, it's in the same class as Prayer for Owen Meany, which is to say "at the very top" of my list of all time favorites.
Top 10 Books I read in 2013:
The Circle by Dave Eggers -- WOW!!! Must read!
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt -- Brilliant!!!
Year Zero by Rob Reid
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton (MAN-Boooker winner)
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce
Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaassen
Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
Night Film by Marisha Pessl
I strongly recommend all of the above. The Circle and The Goldfinch are brilliant ... and likely to stay with me for a long time. Year Zero and Bad Monkey are light fun. Life After Life, Harold Fry, Mr. Penumbra, The Luminaries and Night Flim all have unusual premises or constructs.
The books that follow were all entertaining, but didn't move me the way the Top 10 did.
