The Penguin Celebrations set: How I Live Now by Meg Rossoff (already got), Coe's What a Carve Up! (already got), Nick Hornby's How To Be Good (might be OK, not my usual taste), Marian Keyes' The Other Side of the Story (never heard of it), Ali Smith's The Accidental, Any Human Heart by William Boyd, Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything Is Illuminated, Matthew Kneale's English Passengers, Lewycka's A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian, White Teeth by Zadie Smith, Heller's Notes on a Scandal, Hari Kunzru's The Impressionist, Barker's Regeneration and Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction.
So they're all very middlebrow and I've read a few of them, but they're all worth a go - and they look great in their uniform, retro designs.
What else came? Nicola Barker's odd Darkmans, Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty (mostly for the politics), Marjorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses (good agitprop) and finally Eugenides' Middlesex.
