2007 so far - books
Following my "2007 so far" posts [1], where I'll talk about the best books I've read this year. Notice that "this year" means "I interacted with it in 2007", and not "it was made in 2007". You're free to also check the music [2] and movies [3] lists.
As you've probably noticed by the size of this post, this time the list isn't actually here in the blog. For this list I finally decided to check out what's out there in the web regarding to book communities. I was looking for a "books social networking": something like Last.fm for books, where you could "scrobble" the books you've been reading, and with that you could find similar books, people with similar reading tastes, other books from the same authors... Well, I don't really need to describe it, just imagine a website just like Last.fm but with books instead of music tracks. Of course, I didn't find any, but while checking out the alternatives I ended creating an account in consumating.com, and from there creating a list of books on listofbests.com.
Unfortunately I haven't read as many books this year as I used to (I only read 27 this year), and you might notice that in the list. Yet, you might like to read the list [4] and maybe pick one of those to read yourself...
