Last month, Boston.com released their list of the decade’s best…  I starred (**) the ones I’ve read already and questioned (?) the ones I tried but could not finish…   If possible, I linked my review to the icon (my blog is only two years old, so I had read many prior to 2007). 

• White Teeth by Zadie Smith ?
• Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri **
• A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers **
• The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon **
• A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide by Samathana Power
• My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk
• The Known World by Edward P. Jones **
• Gilead by Marilynne Robinson **
• Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Means by Michael Pollan
• 2666 by Robert Bolano ?

So, should I read Omnivore’s Dilemma (even though I’ve been a vegetarian for 23 years), My Name is Red, and A Problem from Hell?  Should I give White Teeth a second chance (I did read her second novel in its entirety)?

Welcome back!
