I think this is the first one where I've read not a one! I own Swing Time and will someday read it, I'm sure it's great. And I think I have All The Birds in the Sky on Kindle, I bought it once when it was on ultra-sale.

Of the two I've read, would probably go for Colson Whitehead over Ali Smith. Even if the experimentation of the second half of the book isn't precisely successful, it still has an emotional punch and has grown in my imagination.

I own quite a few books from this list that I've not yet read (Rosewater, Baron Wenckheim's Homecoming, Death Is Hard Work). I should do something about that.
The books from this list that I have read (Transit, Convenience Store Woman) were both excellent.

having said (um, maybe not) that it was a bust for me, i now see 3 things that i have read here - Rosewater, Autumn, The Power. the first two of which were ok, the latter of which went badly wrong.

Wow, I somehow missed all but one of these--the only one I've read is Lovecraft Country.
