Here’s the annual list of recommendations from the editor of Books and Culture, John Wilson.
I’ve seen Mr. Wilson’s office, and it is a book-lover’s dream… you would be surprised how many books he’s managed to fit in that fairly modest office space. These are his favorites of 2006.
personally, i’m very jealous of anyone who is able to publish a best-of books list in the same year all of the books were published.
mine tend to be, ‘what i read and really liked this year, but not necessarily published within the last, say, five years.’
$110 for Crisis of Doubt!? Ouch!
