So, 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!
