I read this book as the first one of my Translation Challenge books of 2013. I found this book to be an absolutely astonishing piece of writing.  Absolutely shocking, short and compact but gripping right until the end. The first person narrative worked really well. I haven't read anything as bleak and sparse since 'The Road' ...

I ordered Beside the Sea by Veronique Olmi, from Peirene to read for the translation challenge this month. It arrived today, I am looking forward to it.

[quote user="julie27"] Love 1984 excellent and very unnerving book.[/quote] I like this idea, managed to read half of it last year but honestly it really did unnerve me so much I was scared to finish it. 

I haven't read any of them yet, but I like the sound of The Unit and Wonder.

[quote user="amethystmegan"] I have just started the first of my challenge books. Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela. So far not so much a challenge to read but a joy and a privilege. [/quote] Almost a hundred pages in and utterly engrossed why has this been sat on my shelf for the best part of ten years!
