I would have liked to get to 100, but that's okay too well.
the statistical curve, I suppose, my position is on the edge, when the curve has fallen down and ends flat, almost next to 0.
They say that 62 out of 100 Italians have not read books last year, the average annual expenditure procapoccia was just 65 €. No problem, your books I have read them myself, and these are the best beds in 2008
1. Richard Yates - public nuisance
Yates was the best literary discoveries of the year. He entered immediately into the Hall of Fame next to Homes, Coe, Coupland, Safran Foer, Eggers & Co. I have not read Revolutionary Roads (which seems a bit out 'anywhere), but this is definitely my favorite of them all.
2. Richard Yates - Easter Parade
3. Dave Eggers - They were just kids on their way
I remember reading it as I flew to Iceland this summer and saw the words behind each landscape, animal or person described by Valentino / Eggers. Unbeatable!
4. Amélie Nothomb - Metaphysics of the tubes
Another summer reading / Iceland. Illuminating description of the transition from the stage of "tube" to that of infant.
5. Nicole Krauss - The History of Love
A good advice of my favorite librarian (you is always in the evening shift at the library Minimum Fax Trastevere).
6. Richard Yates - The Man Who Fell to Earth
The book, the film (despite the ethereal Bowie) no!
7. Jonathan Safran Foer - Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Oskar is the best character in the narrative of the year!
8. Douglas Coupland - Hey Nostradamus
Coupland The best read so far (but I still lack many titles - Micros Jpod, Eleanor Rigby and The Holy Family).
9. Paul Mask - The gregarious
Bought out of curiosity, a small revelation. Perfect balance between characters, dialogues, narration. Confirmation, even if there was no need, in the quality of Minimum Fax
10.Paolo Cognetti - A little thing that is going to explode
exceptional stories. A style that is refined over time, even better than Manual for girls to succeed.
addition to these there are many other ( here ) set, worthy of mention, but this is Duff, right?
