The Edge of Nowhere

OK, these are just the top ten most memorable (of the 35 or so) books I read this year, in order of when I read them….

Zero: Biography of a Dangerous Idea - Siefe and Zimet
Pattern Recognition - William Gibson
Joe College - Tom Perotta
Inkheart - Cornelia Funke
Nine Horses - Billy Collins (poetry)
The Confusion - Neal Stephenson
System of the World - Neal Stephenson
Cryptonomicon - Neal Stephenson (which I re-read after reading the Baroque trilogy)
Plot Against America - Philip Roth
Rabbit Redux - John Updike

Honorable mention to The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin, the best book on tape we listened to this year driving across all of nowhere to northern Iowa to pick out our dog.
