I have to disagree with Crispin's comment on graphic novels. In fact, I find it almost offensive. You shouldn't *have* to include anything on your End-of-the-Year lists (silly and self-indulgent as they may be). To include a title just because it's a graphic novel (or a cookbook, or a monograph, et cetera)is to subscribe to the same politics and agenda-pushing that the major newspapers' lists are already guilty of. I'm put off by the sort of journalism that makes you feel guilty for not having the same opinion as some imaginary collective (you know, that sort of "if you haven't watched Arrested Development, you haven't lived" stuff). I refuse to believe that my reading is "stunted" because there are no graphic novels on my list (which, by the way, doesn't exist).

What does your top ten list say about you?
Jessa Crispin of Bookslut writes a particularly beautiful analysis of top ten lists at the Book Standard. Gosh, if she wasn't already a slut, I'd make her a ninja. But who'd leave the glaring light of sluthood for a life of darkness and shadows? Oh. Me.

NYT's top of the pops
The New York Times, never one to be outdone by the Globe and Mail (wait...), releases its own Top 100. In the spirit of inclusivity, there's even a Top 10 for the attention challenged. ... And so that's why sparrows are disgusting creatures.... huh? Richard Wilbur!? Gets me all hot, baby!

I think Martin Levin's column about selecting 100 books, and the authors he mentions not on the actual list, at least as interesting, if not more so, than the book list itself (with one or two exceptions as always of course). Book reviews in the end are merely personal opinions, often based upon misreading and misperceptions, dressed up to pass for truth. Necessary, to be sure, if only for publicity purposes.

The Globe 100
One hundred glowing book reviews from the last year of the Globe books section. In excerpt form. (Including the most glowing review I've ever written, for Karen Solie's Modern and Normal, a fantastic book of poetry.)

Uh-oh - are people thinking The Walrus is dull already?

In terms of my interest level, LRC makes The Walrus look like a naked Suicide Girl juggling cans of Guinness.
