Not novel anymore?

Writer's block is one thing. Inability to create novelty is another.
Looks like this inability seems to plague the best of writers.
What can be the solution? At least, I didn't think the solution offered at the end of the article was quite effective. If we were to stop reading authors because they 'might' end up becoming repetitive, then we may not know what we missed!

One Indian author who has surprised me every time he wrote a book is Upamanyu Chatterjee.
I had written about 'Weight Loss', one of his novels, here.
I wish he would write more.

My partial list

As Bethany mentioned in the rules, I am not planning to post a complete list of books (they may change any time) but I am determined to complete the challenge this year! So, here are the first few books that I already have in my collection, that I am very sure of completing!

1. Three Men in a Boat – Jerome K Jerome (England)
2. The Almond – Nadjma (North Africa)
3. Madame Bovary – Gustave Flaubert (France)
4. The Shipping News - E. Annie Proulx (USA)

The rest will follow... I will be almost done with Three Men in a Boat and be posting my thoughts on it soon!
