Books, books, books

I've been fortunate to attend a few meetings of the Lomas Santa Fe Book Club. I'm a total newbie, but after each meeting, we receive an updated list of all the books they've read thus far. It's quite an impressive list. You can see by the dates it's a long standing group.
I thought I'd share it with you, with some stars by ones I've particularly enjoyed in recent years. I didn't star all the ones I've read, partly because I didn't particularly like them or partly because I can't remember too much about them.
I'd love to hear from you if there are ones you particularly recommend that I may have missed.
