"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.This week's topic is Books Outside My Comfort Zone
It is already outside my comfort zone to post about books I didn't care for that much. But since I have to list books that I wouldn't necessarily pick up - and these are mostly book club books - I don't like most of these titles. The books I care for least are chick lit, then fantasy and sci-fi.

The Metamorphosis was an assigned reading when I was in high school, and it left me bewildered and awed and wanting to read more like that.
ReplyDeleteI might check out Lands Beyond The Sea.

I actually enjoyed The Metamorphosis - and Murakami's spin on it, with the reverse!
