Monday, November 26th, 2007
The New York Times Book Review has selected 100 Notable Books of the Year from all those books reviewed since December 3, 2006. The list is set to run in the Dec. 2, 2007 print edition of the Book Review, but you can read it online first!
Here are a few of the more interesting tomes on the list:
- HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. By J. K. Rowling. (Arthur A. Levine/Scholastic, $34.99.) Rowling ties up all the loose ends in this conclusion to her grand wizarding saga.
- LIKE YOU’D UNDERSTAND, ANYWAY: Stories. By Jim Shepard. (Knopf, $23.) Shepard’s surprising tales feature such diverse characters as a Parisian executioner, a woman in space and two Nazi scientists searching for the yeti.
- PORTRAIT OF A PRIESTESS: Women and Ritual in Ancient Greece. By Joan Breton Connelly. (Princeton University, $39.50.) A scholar finds that religion meant power for Greek women.
