Fiction and Literature

Just over a third of the books we have read to date have been fiction (72/206). Some of our books, such as Devil in the White City, Slaughterhouse 5, Dissolution, In the Garden of Beasts, and The March, I would classify as historical fiction. A few other books were comedies such as Bad Monkey and Blowfish. We read children and young adult books including Education of Littletree, Holes, Catcher in the Rye, Harry Potter, Life of Pi, Thunderbolt Kid, and Hunger Games. We read a few classics such as Ivan Ilyich and the Sun Also Rises, as well as some contemporary renowned authors. Our suspenseful books included Kiss the Girls, Friend of the Earth, The Plague, Dust and Shadow, DaVini Code, and the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There were also some pleasant stories such as My Losing Season, A Sad Affair, The Tender Bar, and The Art of Racing in the Rain.

Clearly we have read a wide variety of fiction books.
