Mercurio’s highly-detailed prose is something I try for in my own writing, though I do wonder if in Adrift on the Sea of Rains I’ve gone even further than Ascent does. This has been a touchstone work for me for a number of years. They’re also quite indicative of what it is in fiction that I like and admire. This list of ten books are not my favourite books of all time, but they are books I liked and admired a great deal during the years 2006 to 2011.
So those best of lists for each year were the obvious place to look for books for this meme. Each year, I’ve put together a list of the best five books I’ve read that year – a habit which even predates my blog, as I used to do it for an APA I was in for a good many years. It Doesn’t Have To Be Right (It Just Has To Sound Plausible) has been running since 2006, originally on but on for the past couple of years. I saw this meme on David Hebblethwaite’s excellent blog (and he picked it up from The Broke and the Bookish), and I thought: that’s a good idea, my turn now.
