Just in time for Christmas, the The New York Times released their 100 notable books of 2007. It includes many of the usual suspects, Don DeLillo, Philip Roth and Michael Chabon, but it also makes many unexpected but great selections.
For example, the Times had the wherewithal to choose Adriane Tomine’s Shortcomings, an impressive graphic novel previously reviewed by myself on this blog. Who knew the it could be so progressive with its choices?
Also, I was shocked to learn that I had actually read 3 of the notable books– Shortcomings, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Imperial Life in The Emerald City. But there are 97 other books I still haven’t read yet. So I say to the 4 or 5 friends and relatives who read my blog, I’ll take any of those as a present for Christmas and be happy.
