You have some really good books on your list! Funke, Tolkien and Calvino are great authors. I have nearly all books of Funke at home and Calvino is one of my current favourite authors.
Here are some of my favourite reads of 2009:
- Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte)
- different pieces of Eugène Ionesco
- The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini) amazing!
- The Princess Bride (William Goldman) love it!
- Novecento (Alessandro Baricco)
- If on a Winter's Night a Traveller (Italo Calvino) This is such a great book! I love it!
This is my list!
