Prize in a hunt for

The Time Monk Presents

It seems like only yesterday I was playing "Party Like It's 1999" on repeat and getting ready for Y2K. Now it is almost time for the first decade of the 2000s to wrap up.

You may be wondering, of the thousands of books published between 2000 and 2009, what are the 10 books you absolutely should not miss? Here is our take on the Top 10 Books of the Decade.

Top 10 Books of the Decade

This weekend as I gathered with family, I was talking about a book I was reading wen somebody commented, "I don't really read." I started to think about how many of the people in my family were not readers. Mind you, they are all intelligent people who read lots of books to their kids and value education, but it doesn't appeal to them to read books for fun.
I am always surprised when I remember people like this exist. I read for a living and prefer vacations that require little more than a book in a beautiful place.
If you are reading this, you are probably interested in books. But I wonder, did any of you convert to "reader" status as adults? Has anyone else had the experience of realizing that a family member or close friend doesn't have any interest in reading the fabulous book that you are so excited about?

There are Two Types of People...

Anita Diamant, the bestselling author of The Red Tent, has a new novel about the experiences of four women who survived the Nazi regime in Europe only to find themselves detained in a detainment camp in Haifa, in modern-day Israel. Day After Night is a fascinating tale about the aftermath of the Holocaust and the struggle that Jewish people of all nationalities faced as they worked to establish a new country.
