The staff of the WEEKLY STANDARD’s recommended Christmas reading can be found here. For what it’s worth, here are the best books I read in 2007: Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Stephen King’s Misery. Tom Wolfe’s Hooking Up. Harvey Mansfield’s A Student’s Guide to Political Philosophy. Why I Turned Right, edited by Mary Eberstadt. Andrew Ferguson’s Land of Lincoln.
