The Most Memorable Books I Read in 2013

OK, another list. Despite my antipathy toward them, I decided to make this subjective one to highlight some books that might get lost out there. And I want to stress that these are not necessarily the best books I read, there were many others, but that these not only were great books but additionally left a strong impression that lasted into the start of 2014. So here they are, in categories:

Popular Literary Fiction:

This book had everything I love under one cover: history, wilderness, intense details, place, adventure, romance.

Poetry:

Beautifully written and conceived, one of the most powerful collections I've ever read.


Young Adult:

Not perfect, but I will never forget this tale of abduction set in the dry lands of Australia.


Flash Memoir:

Beautifully crafted, a daughter's homage to her father as he loses his memory.


Short Stories:

I learned much about Bombay and its people on the fringes through these wonderful stories.

HAPPY READING IN 2014!
