best books of 2010?

The best books lists have started rolling in--which is unfair, b/c there are a lot of cool-looking books coming out in the next two months, which are still 2010 by the way, and that's why I post my list in very late December--and here's Amazon's top 100 of 2010. I've read like a quarter of these--they have a lot of non-fiction picks, and some really weird fiction ones (like the latest Sookie Stackhouse book--is that really a literary tour de force? Those books are terrible--not to say that I don't enjoy them, because I did like the first 6 or 7). I was pleased to see two of my favorite comic book-related books of the year make the cut--Batwoman: Elegy and The Art of Jaime Hernandez. Those will be on my best of the year list: comic book division for sure.

I have been trying to think about the books I most enjoyed reading this year. Probably that Julia Glass book & Game Change - oh and Furious Love.

Yeah, I have a few titles in mind, but haven't started thinking about it too much yet . . .
