i had only read the Curious Incident and The Time-Traveller's Wife and while they were both readable I'm pretty sure far better books came out that year. I think I started Fortress of Solitude and didn't get far, though I've enjoyed other Lethem.

Time Traveler's Wife was one that I thought I enjoyed reading and then realized in retrospect I hated.
