My Struggle book one is really great - I have read most of the others, enjoyed them all, but the first is clearly the best

I finished My Struggle, is the best I can say about it.
The Fat Years is an interesting alternate history of China (post Tiananmen) which is very informative about the actual pre Tiananmen history.
I'm also dithering between Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Wolf Hall but going for the latter.

I love Sag Harbor by Colson Whitehead, it's my favourite of his; a great book about music, food, adolescence. As I was reading it, it really reminded me of Richard Ford: it has that feel of a writer setting out to document in detail the everyday events of a few characters over a few weeks. I've since learned of the history between Whitehead and Ford, so the comparison is pretty screwed.
