2010: The Year in Books
Sports fans remember the year in wins, music fans in what records were released, and for avid readers, the year is measured in books.
But in the midst of the “Best ofs” and “Top Tens” for 2010, a great read is still a great read, regardless of what the New York Times says or when it was released. So “might it also be an opportunity to look back, reflect, and share? We hope so, and so, for a seventh year, The Millions has reached out to some of our favorite writers, thinkers, and readers to name, from all the books they read this year, the one(s) that meant the most to them, regardless of publication date. Grouped together, these ruminations, cheers, squibs, and essays will be a chronicle of reading and good books from every era. We hope you find in them seeds that will help make your year in reading in 2011 a fruitful one.”
TheMillions.com offers their 2010 The Year in Reading collection. I’ve checked out nearly every one, and it’s all good stuff.
