One Is Still Rubbing One's Eyes In Disbelief

Two books make it to the list of Entertainment Weekly's "20 Big Events of 2007'". (Books! Those pesky things that distract you from movies, TV shows and computer games. Not one but two of them!)

The first is the final volume in the Harry Potter series. Okay, so that's not too surprising. But the second is Philip Roth's next, the last one of the Zuckerman books. (Among the other breathtaking events that the venerable editors of the publication have collated are the comeback albums of Whitney Houston and Britney Spears. What a year it's going to be.)
