Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where every Tuesday we all look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) bookish examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  Top Ten Tuesday (created and hosted by  The Broke and Bookish) is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and future week’s topics can be found here.  This week’s topic is :

Books I Really Liked but Can’t Remember Much About

Interesting topic.  I think I need to reread a good number of past books not only to reinforce what happened but to see how my feelings stack up if I read a book I previously liked – will I still like it:

1. Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch – this is a book I enjoyed and a series I’m interested in continuing but before doing so I think a reread will be in order because I definitely would struggle to remember the closing chapters.
2. The Six Gun Tarot by R S Belcher – another series where I enjoyed the first book and intend to continue but I will definitely need a reread as quite a bit of the detail is hazy now.
3. The Secret History by Donna Tartt.  I loved this book, the writing, just everything about it – but, I would love a reread as sometimes I’m not totally sure I’m remembering everything well.
4. Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence – one of those books that I read many years ago.  I genuinely cannot remember much about this book at all.  I don’t think I disliked it but it just didn’t make a lasting impression.
5. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón – it feels like a very long time since I read this book and I would struggle to just give a basic outline of it now – which makes me feel guilty because I did enjoy it.
6. Atonement by Ian McEwan – I haven’t completely forgotten the storyline for this one, and also watching the film has probably helped in that respect, but it’s not totally solid in my memory.
7. Many of the Sherlock Holmes stories – don’t get me wrong, I love these stories, and I haven’t forgotten them as such, but I would love to reread them to once again see Holmes thought processes in action.
8. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night by Mark Haddon – this was a very intriguing book to read but I actually can’t remember the ending.
9. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini – this book really packs an emotional punch.  I’ve only ever read it once but I would like to read it again and take my time with it.
10. Which book do you struggle to remember???
