The NY Times annually publishes a list of 100 notable books and a Top 10 for the year. These two lists have just come out this week and it looks there's plenty of good reading ahead. Of the 100, I have read only one, What Is The What? by Dave Eggers.
I see that Martin Amis' A House of Meetings is out in paperback already, so I imagine I'll probably read that sometime soon. I am interested in the National Book Award winner Tree of Smoke after reading a laudatory review in Harper’s. However, the other nominees have also provided what look like some interesting reads, Then We Came To The End by Joshua Ferris, Fieldwork by Mischa Berlinski, and Varieties of Disturbance by Lydia Davis. Some others in the top 100 I want to read include: The Abstinence Teacher by Tom Perotta, After Dark by Haruki Murakami, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, and On Chesil Beach by Ian Mc Ewan.
