52 x 1001 Books in 2011

I've now reached my target of 52 1001 books read this year.  My final baker's dozen were a mixed bunch, but at least I got some long-term TBR's read.  It's always tough to choose the my favourite out of 13 books which have made it on the 1001 list, but I'll have a go!  Good Soldier Schweik was very funny and subversive, I need to get my own copy of it, and a few more to give to as gifts.  Unless blew me away, it had so much more going on than just a narrative.  The Virgin Suicides was another that took me by surprise, I had seen the film, but the book makes it realer, more powerful.  The one I enjoyed least, pretty much down-right disliking it was On the Road, what a load of BLA BLA BLA.
