If you, like me, love to devour a book for breakfast and consider yourself more of a book T-Rex than a bookworm, then I'm sure you long for lists like this every month. This one includes a healthy mixture of new authors, experienced authors and long lost authors. Ramona Ausubel for example comes back with Awayland, a collection of stories which promise to send us on a mythological journey around the world.
Self-discovery, love, passion, mystery, and even a collection of essays, lectures, reviews and interviews addressing the experience of thinking are brought to us by Hannah Arendt in her new book Thinking Without a Banister.
Another special thing about this list is that the novelists showcased here are mostly women – heterosexuals, lesbians or transgender. One of the few books here not written by a woman is Unmasked, the autobiography of the greatly acclaimed composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Very sadly, the one thing which disappoints me about this list is that it makes me acknowledge the fact that there are way more good books than time to read them.
