Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created at the Broke and Bookish. Check out their blog and join in the fun !
The topic for this week is “Top Authors I’ve Only Read One Book From But NEED to Read More”. But I am going to tweak this slightly and split into 2 groups of 5 each.

(Books read are mentioned first followed by ones I want to read )
The Sense Of An Ending , The History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters , Love etc. , Nothing to be frightened of
The Lives of Others, A Life Apart , Past Continuous
The Siege, The Meadow, Deception, The Amber Room
Our Moon has Blood Clots, Hello Bastar, The Absent State
Animal Farm , 1984
Top 5 Authors I Haven’t Read Yet But Already Have Multiple Books In My TBR

Any of these on your lists ? Link up your TTT in the comments !!! 🙂
Some of George Orwell’s books are on my TBR list too, but unlike you, I haven’t read a thing from him except a chapter or so of 1984 and a short essay. Yet another reason why I need a trip to the bookstore sooner than later!

I read Animal Farm ages ago in school ! I’m planning to re-read it and get the others but only after I finish the ones with me now 🙂

Yep, Orwell is on my list too. I feel the need to read 1984 but I’m also not sure.
As for J.M. Coetzee, I enjoyed him, but his style takes some getting used to. I would probably start with Disgrace if I were you.

Thats my plan too . Disgrace seems to be the most widely liked of all.

The history of the world … Is a really unusual book. It doesn’t have a story as such but it’s very interesting.

Ha ha ok 🙂 I was just really intrigued by the title + I loved Sense of an Ending hence the TBR addition

I’d definitely give it a go. I’ve never read anything like it and Barnes is a brill writer! I need to read more of him

I recently finished reading 1984 and I LOVED it!! It’s creepy and fascinating and such a great piece of literature. I highly recommend it! 🙂
