Top 10 Books of 2012

Inspired by this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIwBUqIoqvo

In no particular order...

1. Bad Behaviour - Mary Gaitskill (4/5)
Chosen after watching Secretary, I was pleasantly surprised by the other short stories in the collection, though confused as to why Secretary was made - it did not seem to me like there was a whole lot to be gleened from the 20 page story of the same name.

2. The Fault in Our Stars - John Green (5/5)
uoIAHdouhasfk I adore John Green's work. More coherent review to follow (possibly.)

3. 100 - Christopher Heimann (4/5)
Fantastic play based off of an interesting concept.

4. Thérèse Raquin - Émile Zola (4/5)
 My first stab at a French novel. I was surprised by how accessible the language was, given the age of the book.

5. History of a Pleasure Seeker - Richard Mason (4/5)

6. Fifty Shades of Grey - E.L James (2/5)
Hilariously bad.

7. Love Letters of Great Men - Ursula Doyle (4/5)


8. Room - Emma Donoghue (4/5)

9. The Knowledge - John Donnelly (4/5)

10. Twenties Girl - Sophie Kinsella (4/5)
