Best Books of 2007?

The New York Times has published a list of the ten best books in 2007. The first five are fiction and the last five are non-fiction. I don't know who wrote the article or who got to determine which books were this year's best, but if you can recommend any from this list, let me know in the comments! The fiction books look more interesting to me, but still...were any of these on Border's recommended reading lists? Or Oprah's? Hah, I'm kidding. Kind of.

Here's the list:

1. Man Gone Down by Michael Thomas
2. Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson
3. The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano
4. Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris
5. Tree of Smoke by Denis Johnson
6. Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone by Rajiv Chandrasekaran
7. Little Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During the Great Depression by Mildred Armstrong Kalish
8. The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by Jeffery Toobin
9. The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh: A Woman in World History by Linda Colley
10. The Rest is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century by Alex Ross
