Veeck as in Wreck: The Autobiography of Bill Veeck
1.  Veeck as in Wreck: The Autobiography of Bill Veeck by Bill Veeck
The list author says:
  "Veeck As In Wreck - I wouldn't recommend this to people uninterested in baseball, however, fans are sure to enjoy.  Lots of amusing anecdotes (no doubt some are slight adjustments of real life) - 8/10"

The Plot Against America
2.  The Plot Against America by Philip Roth
The list author says:
  "The Plot Against America - 2 books this year featuring one legged men... Two thumbs up for this book. I like his long sentence / chapters style. An expanded ending would have topped it off - 8/10"

3.  Notes from the Underground (Dover Thrift) by F. M. Dostoevsky

  "Notes From Underground - I struggled with the first part of this book but the second part was very enjoyable and an easier read.  The translation is occassionally awkward in this version - 7/10"

The Loser (Vintage International)
4.  The Loser (Vintage International) by Mark M. Anderson
The list author says:
  "The Loser - May have to re-read this one to see if I missed something.  Maybe the reviews made me expect more from it?  Could have done with paragraphs, I thought - 6/10"

Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life
5.  Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life by Jon Lee Anderson
The list author says:
  "Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life - Finally I have substance behind the face / image.  Long book well worth reading.  An extremely interesting life neutrally biographed.  Very indepth - 9/10"

The Outsider (Penguin Modern Classics)
6.  The Outsider (Penguin Modern Classics) by Albert Camus
The list author says:
  "The Outsider - Very quick read.  I found it interesting (Camus theories should probably be read by everyone at some point) but ultimately the story didn't reach my expectations (buy 'The Fall') - 7/10"

Post Office
7.  Post Office by Charles Bukowski
The list author says:
  "Post Office - Another quick book, a bit like Nick Cave's last year (although 40 years earlier and autobiographical) - 8/10"

The Metamorphosis (Dover Thrift)
8.  The Metamorphosis (Dover Thrift) by Franz Kafka
The list author says:
  "The Metamorphosis - Only about 45 pages - the rest of the book is other Kafka shorts.  I didn't think it was a great start but it improved in the middle.  Will read the other shorts another day - 6/10"

Crash
9.  Crash by J. G. Ballard
The list author says:
  "Crash - I couldn't get into this book.  It was well written and probably added twenty+ words to my vocabulary (if I were to remember them) but the story failed to grab my interest - 5/10"

The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ (Myths)
10.  The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ (Myths) by Philip Pullman
The list author says:
  "Good Man Jesus... - It certainly didn't feel very controversial.  Half the book felt wasted (lots of blank paper and an unexciting first half) but the end was reasonable - 6/10"

We (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics)
11.  We (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics) by Yevgeny Zamyatin
The list author says:
  "We - Excellent.  The only issue I have with the book is the use of (so many) ellipses - I sometimes felt like I was... - 8/10"

The Heart Of A Dog (Vintage Classics)
12.  The Heart Of A Dog (Vintage Classics) by Mikhail Bulgakov

  "Heart of a Dog - Fantastic.  One of the best books I've read.  So much to enjoy about this book - the story, characters, humour...  Instantly ordered more Bulgakov as a result - 9/10"

Zeitoun
13.  Zeitoun by Dave Eggers
The list author says:
  "Zeitoun - (I have little knowledge of events surrounding Katrina)  Good and surprising book.  Well written but almost too easy for the subject matter & suffers slightly jumping time & locations - 7/10"

Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City
14.  Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City by Greg Grandin
The list author says:
  "Fordlandia - I'm torn.  It is an interesting story yet I found myself drifting through a lot of this book (definitely no 'Heart of Darkness here).  Sentences opening with 'but' became annoying - 6/10"

Setting Sun
18.  Setting Sun by O DAZAI
The list author says:

The Fall (Penguin Modern Classics)
