Weasel Of Doom

Amazon.com’s Best Books of 2007
I have read exactly ONE book on that list – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Downright depressing.

NY Times 100 Notable Books of 2007
You guessed it. Just one. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, again.

Oooh, and the Times have lists going back to 1981! I suspect I have found the holy grail of “hmmm, what shall I write about tonight” order :-) Without further ado:

Nothing from 2006. Unsurprisingly, only Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from 2005. 2004 – nothing. 2003 – Jennifer Government by Max Barry, Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde, The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century by Paul Krugman. 2002 – The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, Q is for Quarry by Sue Grafton. 2001 – Not a damn thing. 2000 – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Coming soon – the many ways I can say “never heard of these books” from 1981 to 1999!
