List of the Decade


http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/dec/16/decade-best-unread-books



With the exception of Don Quixote, I haven't heard of ANY of these so I'm intrigued by this potentially terrific list from the Guardian. Notable agents, editors and other book types offer their choices of what they consider the most overlooked books of the last ten years.

Me and the New York Times

The NYT picks their top ten titles for the year here: http://bit.ly/6RG0Yf

Funny how we both do a sort of list-y review of Lethem's Chronic City but they loved it and I didn't.

Ah well. Great minds sort of think alike while imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Thanks NYT. I think this means we're going steady.
