I read 34 books in 2017. Short of my goal of 50. This year I set my goal at 48 and will up my game.

Of the 34 books I read here are my top 10 favorites:

1. The God of Small Things, by Arundhati Roy
2. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, by Arundhati Roy
3. A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway
4. Across the River and into the Trees, by Ernest Hemingway
5. Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, by Simone de Beauvoir
6. Old Path White Clouds, by Thich Nhat Hanh
7. Sabbath’s Theater, by Philip Roth
8. The Sound and the Fury, by William Faulkner
9. Shakespeare The Inventor of the Human, by Harold Bloom
10. So you Don’t Get Lost in the Neighborhood, by Patrick Modiano

The God of Small Things is by far my favorite book of the year.

What are some of yours?
