Today I woke up and realized I’ve only got 3 weeks of 2007 left! Aaaaaack! I’m sure you guys hardly felt it too. But instead of succumbing to a panic attack and questioning just how productive we were in 2007, let’s measure the year in books.

What were your 2007 reads?

The City Weekend Book Club downed 11 volumes:

Summer Crossing by Truman Capote, The World Is Flat _ by Thomas L. Friedman, The River at the Center of the World - A Journey Up the Yangtze_ and Back in Chinese Time by Simon Winchester (with a special appearance of Winchester himself at Book Club), Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai, Empress Orchid by Anchee Min, A Florentine Revenge by Kristobel Kent, A Thousand Splendid Suns Khaled Hosseini The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan, Suite Francaise by Irene Nimerovsky, The Emperor's Bones by Adam Williams, Passing Under Heaven by Justin Hill.

Go on, tell us what you read and in the coming weeks, we'll round up 2007’s best reads, and your suggestions for 2008.
