🦋 2007: A Year in Reading
The Millions is publishing a series of posts by various notables recommending books they have enjoyed this year, under the heading 2007: A Year in Reading. Go check it out, lots of interesting stuff. (hat tip to LanguageHat, whose post is the first in the series.) For my own part, my recommendation for 2007 is Pamuk -- I first delved into Snow in July and his books have been very much on my mind ever since. He captures, with as much clarity as I have ever seen, the world I live in -- though his novels are set in locations geographically, culturally, and temporally removed from my own. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Snarkout, for introducing me to Pamuk's work. (My other big discoveries of 2007 are not reading-related: Robyn Hitchcock and Pedro Almodóvar.)
