It’s list time. I’ve been toying with the notion of doing my own Top 10 Books That I’ve Read in 2004 (inspired by Conversational Reading’s great list), but who knows if I will get to it. I still have not figured out the comments problem either (has anyone else had this problem?). But the NYT has chosen their 10 favorite books. Nothing surprising or shocking in their list:
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, The Master by Colm Toibin, The Plot Against America by Philip Roth, Runaway: Stories by Alice Munro, Snow by Orhan Pamuk, War Trash by Ha Jin, Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, Chronicles: Volume One by Bob Dylan, Washington’s Crossing by David Hackett Fischer, and Will in the World by Stephen Greenblatt.
