Oy vey. So, it seems like I only post here once a year and it's only to list books that I read. Well, at least I'm consistent right?
I kind of went undead crazy this year what with reading the two Justin Cronin books as well as Colson Whitehead's foray into post-apocalyptic zombie prose.
Favorites from this year include (in no particular order) Et Tu, Babe, Empire Falls, The Tiger's Wife and Perdido Street Station. The Art of Fielding was really entertaining too though the ending was very strange.
