So, following on from that 100 books meme...

Name ONE book that wasn't listed that you feel should have been.

I'll kick off with The History of Love by Nicole Krauss.

I remember you making a post about that some time ago. It gets very mixed reviews - sell it to me, why is it great?

It's a book with such a wide scope it's difficult to describe why it is so good in a few words. Political and personal, realist and surreal, profound and unpretentious, Lanark is an explosion of rough genius.

Went back and re-read your post; it does sound amazing, I'll get hold of a copy and give it a go - thanks for the rec!
