Curious to see what the Lemmings are reading this year.

I'll say my favorite this year was "The People of the Deer" by Farley Mowat, a novelization of the authors time spent in the Canadian North.

An incredible read with some wonderful prose.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery did grab my attention with its themes of class conflict and gender. Its most unique feature is prioritising philosophical and intellectual discussions through the protagonists' journals; the plot comes in second.
