Hi all. My name is Equiano from Lost in Translation. Like several other folks, I've decided to read titles I already have in the house as my TBR pile is more like a mountain! Here's my list:
The Conservationist by Nadine Gordimer (MAN/BOOKER 1974)
A Good Man in Africa (COSTA/WHITBREAD 1981)
Ake by Wole Soyinka (NOBEL 1986)
The Famished Road by Ben Okri (MAN/BOOKER 1991)
Sacred Hunger by Barry Unsworth (MAN/BOOKER 1992)
American Gods by Neil Gaiman (HUGO 2002/NEBULA 2002)
The Polished Hoe by Austin Clarke (GILLER 2002/COMMONWEALTH 2003)
The In-Between World of Vikram Lall by M.G. Vassanji (GILLER 2003)
Boyhood by J.M. Coetzee (Nobel 2003)

You have a very unique list! I can't wait to hear your reviews.
Welcome to the challenge.
I have to say that "American Gods" is one of my all-time favorite reads EVER; now, at an average 100/bks/yr, that's sayin' *something*, I think! (LoL)
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did; I'll look forward to your thoughts
