Favourite Books – 2006

I read a total of 34 books in 2006. Out of the 34 books, these were my favourite reads. Looking back there were only a few I should have given up on by page 50.

Favourite Books 2006

• Catfish and Mandela: A Two-Wheeled Voyage Through the Landscape and Memory of Vietnam by Andrew X. Pham
• Sweetness in the Belly by Camilla Gibb
• The Long Walk by Slovomir Rawicz . This is one of my all time favourite books and in 2011 it is starting to hit the bestseller list. It’s one amazing adventure and journey – from a POW camp across the Himalayas into India.

• Passionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark by Jane Fletcher Geniesse
• The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
• The Wreckage by Michael Crummey
• The Perfection of the Morning by Sharon Butala
• An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks
