My progress on attempting to read all the 2013 ToB contenders before March 1, 2013.
I stumbled on the Tournament of Books in 2012 through a post on Citizen Reader's blog. All but four of the books were available from my local library, which was helpful. I couldn't have managed it otherwise! Check out the Morning News site: http://www.themorningnews.org/tob/ for some of the smartest, most honest and funniest commentary on these 16 books published last year.
- HHhH by Laurent Binet (currently reading)
- The Round House by Louise Erdrich (checked out from the library)
