No baseball titles on Times' "must-read" lists

December 28, 2007

Three book reviewers for The New York Times weigh in with their top choices of the year. Not much of a surprise that there are no baseball titles deemed worthy of inclusion (not even on their list of 100 Notable books for 2007.)
I actually have a few of the titles listed, including Michael Chabon’s latest novel, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, even though I usually don’t go in for fiction. I’m chagrined to say that although I do have these books — including Schulz and Peanuts; Einstein: His Life and Universe; and Final Exam: A Surgeon’s Reflections on Morality (and I’m sorry, but every time I see The Nine, I automatically think it’s the title of a baseball book. Similarly, The House That George Built seems like it should be about Yankee Stadium) — I have yet to read them. But it seems I’m not alone in that shortcoming, according to, again, the Times.
