Wendy – you should definitely join the challenge, then – the lowest commitment is 10 essays, and I know there are more than that in Hornby’s books.

Thanks for the links and recommendations, Carrie! I'll have to try and read more essays this year. I've got three of Nick Hornby's collections here. Those seem like a good place to start. .-= Literary Feline´s last blog ..Sunday Salon: A Reading Retrospective (December 2004) =-.

Vasilly – I really liked Ex Libris, to – I’m hoping to pick up her At Large and At Small this year. Hope your Sunday is good as well!

Thanks for hosting this again. Ex Libris by Fadiman is a collection of essays that I've read before and enjoyed. I'm definitely adding the Anna Quindlen to my list. Have a great Sunday. .-= Vasilly´s last blog ..Two Christmas Books for Children =-.

I've never read an essay in my life, but these sound interesting. 2010 is my year for graphic novels, maybe 2011 will be my year for essays! .-= Sandy´s last blog ..Sunday Salon: The Christmas cheer continues =-.
