Nice list! I've read several of these, but I'm most interested in Hunger. I know nothing about it but I keep seeing it on a lot of people's lists. I'll watch for your review!
You've got two of my absolute favorites, Quicksand and To the Lighthouse, on your list. I hope you enjoy.

I didn't quite make the finish line for this challenge, but read some good ones during the year. So all in all, pretty satisfied anyway. I will put the unread ones into next years challenge in the hope of getting to them this year.
Happy New Year everyone! :)
