As per my last update to my 2011 reading list, I've been on a good run this year. I should point out that the seven books I've checked off to date are by no means the complete picture. Right now, I'm taking the harrowing journey through Cormac McCarthy's gore-soaked classic "Blood Meridian" and started another Lethem (his breakout novel "Fortress of Solitude" which I can't say I'm enjoying so far). I've also knocked off more Hornby ("A Long Way Down" which is one of his better ones, even though it further exposes his inability to write in different voices); "Bruno, Chief of Police," a delightful summer read about a small town French cop and epicure penned by Martin Walker; and, uh, the first book of the "Hunger Games" trilogy.
