The book I read during 2007:
- Gianluca Morozzi – L’era del Porco
- Peter F. Hamilton – Judas Unchained
- Ryu Murakami – “Coin Locker Babies”
- Frank Schätzing – The Swarm
- Joe Haldeman – The Forever War
- David Baldacci – Hour Game
- Haruki Murakami – Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman
- Michael Crichton – State of Fear
- Robert L. Spencer – The Craft of the Warrior
- Haruki Murakami – After Dark
- Fritjof Capra – The Tao of Physics
Read FOREVER WAR years ago and recall liking it–how much time passed while the marines were in outer space, the Earth leaving them behind. I reviewed the Murakami book on my site (thought it was a lesser effort by a talented scribe). One of the best books for me this year was THE FUTURIST, which I highly recommend, a nice bit of barbed satire. My one BIG book of the year was Denis Johnson’s award-winning TREE OF SMOKE–unfortunately, I read it as I was revising a novella and so couldn’t bring all my attention to the task. Good list, fun to swap favorites with someone thousands of miles away…
