I only ever read on the subway anymore, so this list isn't as substantial as it could be.
TOP FIVE BOOKS OF 2007
"Rabbit Run" - John Updike
Sure I read him in high school, but who pays attention in high school?
"Perfect From Now On" - John Sellers
I want this guy to be my drinking buddy. Well, maybe not, he thinks a little too much like me.
"Absurdistan" - Gary Shteyngart
I annoyed people seated near me while reading this, I was laughing so loudly and frequently.
"Red Eye/Black Eye" - K. Thor Jensen
A road trip book like no other.
"Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman" - Richard Feynman
I read this on New Year's Day 2007, and told myself I should re-read it each New Year's Day. Well, I failed this year.
