2 out of 100

Out of the recently announced New York Times’ Notable Books List my score is extremely low: two out of a hundred.

#1: the seventh Harry Potter, which was not too bad. Especially considering the previous two tomes of the franchise, the ultimate part was pretty deftly executed.

#2: Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s Imperial Life in the Emerald City, a journalist’s account of the first years of the Iraqi occupation. The amount of nepotism and consequential wrong decisions is nothing less than amazing. But sadly true.
