Best Books of 2007

As we come to the end of the year we begin to see LOTS of lists of the "Best Books of 2007." Like anything else the value of these lists depends upon how the person looking at them values the opinion of the person who created them. I find them interesting even when I totally disagree that the chosen books are "the best. " Here are some "Best Books of 2007" lists for your consideration:

• The New York Times' 100 Notable Books


• School Library Journal's Best Books of 2007


• Book Sense Picks Highlights from the American Booksellers Association


• Best Book Picks from the Washington Post's Book World


• Publisher's Weekly's Best Books of the Year


• Amazon.com's Best of 2007


• Young Adult Library Services Association's Best Books for Young Adults 2007


• Paste Magazine's Article on what various writer's think were the best books this year


• Best Books of the Year from The Horn Book


• List from the Times of London


• A survey of authors' favorites from The Guardian


• NH Public Radio's The Exchange did their annual Holiday Books program today and promised to post lists of the books that were discussed

Similarly, The Best Novels You've Never Read from New York Magazine takes a longer view than just this year and presents a group of novels that didn't make best-seller status but that various people think should have. I have read a handful of these titles and agree that the ones I read were excellent which makes this a list I think is worth considering.
