11 in 11 Step Challenge: Final Overview

66 books in 12 categories read between June and October 2011.

Well, I appear to have a three-way-tie for the top 1001, all good, but very different. Invisible Cities wins the prize for the mst beautifully written, Good Soldier Schweik for the best satire and Unless for being the most thought-provoking.

The best mystery goes to The Little Stranger, a book which combined all the classic ghost story elements. The funniest goes to The Diary of a Nobody and the most fun to Fantomas. The most romantic goes to Jamilia.

As for the other end of the scale, the most overhyped goes to On the Road, and for promise shown that ultimately led nowhere, the prize goes jointly to The Resurrectionist and The Swimming Pool Library.

I am happy though, I gave far more 4 and 4 1/2 star ratings than 2 1/2. I found some new authors, dusted off some long-term TBR's, and had great conversations with people about them.

All that's left now is to finish my reviews :S
