Books, books, and more Books
Sep. 29th, 2009 01:31 pmSo, there is this www.themillions.com/2009/09/best-of-the-millennium-pros-versus-readers.html, a list of the 'best' books of the last 10 years. I just finished Oscar Wao, and I have to say, I wouldn't have put it at the top. Granted, I have only read two of the other books on these lists, but I liked both of those books more, so there you go. What I've read:
The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
by Junot Díaz
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
by Michael Chabon
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
by Susanna Clarke
I was also disappointed to see The Curious Incident of the Dog in Nighttime omitted, but perhaps it is older than I think it is? Because that one, I also liked better than Oscar Wao.
I have pictures and anecdotes from Vegas, but not today. Today, I am barely awake. Which is as it should be, following nearly 4 days in Vegas.
Latah!
