Top 3 Books of 2007 (I read a LOT of good books this year but most weren't published this year)

2. Rant by Chuck Palanhiuk ......... k, i love all of his books but this one is reminiscent of his glory days of Fight Club and Invisible Monsters
1. A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide by Samantha Power ......... technically first published in 2002 but my copy is the 2007 edition so it counts and it is one of the most powerful/disturbing books i have ever read. everyone needs to read it!
