The Season of Lists : An Early Peek

The online New York Times Book Review has put up their 100 Notable Books of the Year in advance of their December 4th "Holiday Books" issue.
       Lots of the book bloggers will have something to say about this. GalleyCat, for example, points out that genre ficton is scarcely mentioned. The Grumpy Old Bookman points out that the Toronto Globe and Mail has also put up its Globe 100.
       Lots more 'Best' lists will no doubt be appearing soon. Librarians' lists; mystery readers lists; and so on. We'll keep you posted. The covers of the first five on the Times list are below.
