    "The End of Mr. Y" sounds like my kind of book!

    I may want to read 'The World is Flat' for a simple reason that Thomas Friedman is behind it. His columns in NYT are superb.

    I have that Mr. Y book in my house and never got around to reading it - will definitely do so now!!!
    Another book I'd suggest: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao - by Junot Diaz
    I literally just put it down an hour ago - it's a truly amazing book and the best way I can describe it is: one of a kind.

    I bought so many books in 2008 and read so few of them. Probably my worst "bought to read" ever. I can't stop buying new books. I was at Borders last week and saw the Junot Diaz book on the shelf. I remembered it from this post so I bought it. When you wrote about The End of Mr Y, I was on vacation in Phuket and bought it there. I quickly read half of it but haven't read the rest of it since I came back from vacation. And that was 7 months ago!
