Time's Top Ten Novels of the 2000s nossy Send a noteboard - 26/02/2012 12:13:02 PM
Thoughts?

TIME's Lev Grossman selects the decade's finest literature, from a book about dueling magicians to one about dueling family members.

BOOKS
Never Let Me Go
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
The Corrections
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
The Known World
Atonement
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Lush Life
Then We Came to the End
American Gods


I think I should have liked The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, but I did not. Loved Atonement, loved all the HPs, but I can't say OotP was my favorite.

It's quite lovely. Rebekah - 27/02/2012 06:01:30 PM 714 Views
It starts out splendidly and keeps it up quite long, just not quite long enough. Legolas - 28/02/2012 06:29:17 PM 654 Views
Yes. *NM* jh - 27/02/2012 05:27:38 PM 270 Views
It is quite boring in the beginning. And yet it has this strange appeal.... A Deathwatch Guard - 28/02/2012 10:44:38 PM 655 Views
