Subject: RARA-AVIS: The best novel you read this
year
It's the end of the year, and I'm curious to know
what novel knocked
fellow list members for a loop this year. James
Reasoner's Dust Devils
did it for me. If this list is still around in
another 10 years that
novel will be one that people still talk about. I
think Reasoner out
Gold Medaled anything Gold Medal printed with
that one. It's as close
to a perfect story as I've ever read. So, what
did it for you? What
was published in 2007 that you think will go down
in history?
