Well, there are definitely more but I just can't remember what I've read! I remember having read lots of good books this year but off the top of my head I can't quite recall every one of them now. So here's the off-the-top-of-my-head list.
1) Only a Sandpiper: Appreciating Classical Chinese Poetry by Li Lienfung -- Thanks to overacuppa and Fatgirl, I now have the book sitting nicely on my shelf!
2) The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
3) Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
4) Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
5) Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon
6) French Lessons: Adventures with the Knife, Fork, and Cockscrew by Peter Mayle
7) Lizard by Banana Yoshimoto
8) Toast by Nigel Slater
9) Battle at the Red Cliff: A Guide to Three Kingdoms by Li Lienfung
10) Ladyfingers & Nun's Tummies: A Lighthearted Look At How Foods Got Their Names by Martha Barnette

Nice list, DSD. I picked up "Lizard" after you recommended it on the blog.
