There trouble with this label is that the NYT has many different categories to be the best seller in. The last time I bought a book based on this recommendation I ended up ripping it apart in disgust.

It's also on their 100 best books of the century list.

That's interesting but perhaps a little early in this century to be making such a list? It may well be an excellent book and I should seek it out-but my point really is the NYT (along with most newspapers I suspect) have made their own recommendations worthless by having so many subdivisions.

It’s a very good book. I read it when it came out and liked it a lot.
