The New York Times has released a list of what they regard as the 100 notable books of the Year 2007.

Split into Fiction & Poetry, and Nonfiction categories, this list comprises a broad selection of reading matter from the past year. Each listed title on the above page, links to a full review of the work.

Of interest to me as a writer is each book in the list is accompanied by a one sentence description. A great lesson in how to put together those always tricky to create straplines. The list page is worth a visit for that alone.

The list will be published in the December 2 print edition of the Book Review.
