Amid the business and pleasure of life I managed to read a book or two - Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, The Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris, The Master by Colm Toibin, The Girl with ... Series by Stieg Larssen, Hard Times by Charles Dickens, Farewell My Lovely by Raymond Chandler, Marked by PC Cast, Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffnegger, Wild Things by Dave Eggers, Growing Up Asian in Australian edited by Alice Pung. Not to mention my  big challenge War and Peace by Tolstoy.
