Books I loved in 2006 (and if you choose to click through and buy any of these, you’re supporting the site — and thank you!)

• The Road by Cormac McCarthy
• Everyman by Phillip Roth (a brilliant meditation on a life lived and died; not previously cited on this blog, but it should have been)
• Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin
• Drop City by T.C. Boyle (and yes, it didn’t come out this year, but I read it this year).

I read something like 30 or 40 more books this year, but I can’t name one of them offhand. (Except the two I didn’t like:  World War Z and Brooklyn Follies, the first Pau Auster novel I wasn’t glad to be reading.)
