Book of the decade

[OwlHoot]

I picked the book up on a plane (someone had left it).

I knew nothing about it.

It simply blew me away, it made me realise how lucky we are in this time and how much history had to teach us.

Read it...

So what does the title mean? Night of the Weasels?

Sounds intriguing

A long long way - Sebastian Barry

I enjoyed that too - although he did have rather a penchant for 'Wicklow Sheepdog' analogies...

A book called Night, by the author Elie Wiesel

HTH

You must have spent ages looking for The DaVinci Code Dan Brown

I haven't read any 'modern' books, but Kafka's 'Metamorphosis and other short stories' quite impressed me. Not exactly this decade though.

The last decade is 1991-2000. The current decade is 2001-2010, which I assume is what you were referring to.

I heard something on Radio 4 the other day which completely blew apart the pedants arguement of when decades begin and end.
Unfortunately I can't remember the content of the discussion

ISBN-10: 0867193719 was so last decade so I think I'd go for
ISBN-1-905102-00-3.

On a more serious note "Saturday Night Peter" or "Angelas Ashes".

Personally my benchmark is anything that gets a rave review from Henry Raddick.

Another vote for The Life of PI hers...

Technically a decade is any period of 10 years. So we are right at the end of the decade that started 15/01/2000.

I remember when they had interesting and amusing programmes on Radio 4.
