NY Times 100 Notable Books of 2008

I am a voracious reader. Always have been, always will be. So how is it possible that I've only read one of the books on the New York Times' 100 Notable Books of 2008 list?

I blame the lag time between the date the books are published and the date they arrive at the Royal Oak Library. I've tried buying all my books in the past - trust me, it isn't economical ;-)

A Mercy

Toni Morrison has been my favorite author since I read Song of Solomon in high school. More than just a supurb, Nobel Prize-winning writer, Morrison is one of the world's best storytellers. Her latest novel, A Mercy, is in stores today.
