Booked by 3 for January

Let's see if I can come up with enough questions for 12 more months of this. To kick off the new year, let's have a retrospective of the previous one.
  1. List up to 3 books you read in 2007 that you loved.
  2. List up to 3 books you read in 2007 that were disappointments.
  3. List up to 3 authors you discovered in 2007 you definitely will put on your Must Read list.
Answer in the comments or leave a link to your answers, please. I'm looking forward to seeing what you list. My answers, uh, soonish.

    I normally love Moore's books, they are usually more fun, as you can tell from the review of this one it was the ending that turned me.

    i haven't read that many books in 2007 but i'll share with you my feelings on books I did read. The Emperor's children by Claire Messud - I found very disappointing. EAt Pray Love by elizabeth gilbert - liked parts of it, her descriptions of place and people were very vivid and humorous, however sometimes a bit too self-involved. just finished Inheritance of Loss by kiran desai and found it beautifully written but very sad. Reminded me of writers like Salman Rushdie and Rohinton Mistry, whom I love, but without their capacity to put forth a transcendant hope that emerges from tragedy.
