It's been a while

Though I did not complete all the books for July, I did end up reading other books that I had not planned. For example, I liked Cuckoo's calling so I ended up reading the second book in this series 'Silkworm'. I also read 'Moral Disorder' by Atwood. Initially it was slow, but boy does it enchant you? I was so impressed, I ended up requesting two more books from the library of the same author.
I also read Chuck Palahniuk's novel, 'Haunted, a novel of stories'. Extremely weird and in parts brilliant.
I read a non-fiction after a long long time! Called 'Always Eat Left Handed: 15 Surprisingly Simple Secrets Of Success' by Rohit Bhargava, it was a decent one-time read that one may end up dipping into, once a while.

So September now, I have to finish some books that have been long pending:
1. The Elephant's Journey - Jose Saramago
2. The Blind Assassin - Margaret Atwood
3. A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian - Marina Lewycka

I am going to keep the list short so that I can pack in any unplanned book in-between and feel good about it later.
