It was anything but easy ... Turkey most of the doubt: Do we have reason not to make such a list? Bazooka and Karine were enough for Peter away from writing his own book ... Gatitox cornered me, shit. A list DiD 2010, but a list how? The best of the past year, is not unique even what we have always tried to avoid here (by hatred of recorded time and hierarchies)? But if the game is necessary to take stock at some point, which put on? The forgotten ones? Those you already know, because they were once forbidden during the year (Nakahira, Dodge, Lestrade, Ellis, Agee, Bolano, Davidson, Burns), and even before, because if we wanted to show off a little, we recall that 'In 2009 we (Gatitox, mostly) you already spoke of Knockemstiff, London Orbital, The Rest Is Noise, or of Zebulon ...? A 2010 list to say that Don DeLillo is a genius (but super. .. that, just read the names before any thing)? Bomb or a list full of reissues, just to realize that, by pure antibodies, we are bound to (good) distance from the literary season. And therefore, necessarily, certain securities, to see, there this afternoon or at home Gibert Company, had nevertheless, for two or three of them, a small interest - from the moment you leave the bellows media back on his own - but those we do not even mention those of us who do not yet have purchased
... In the end - and on the wire - a list. Willingly incomplete. A photo meaningless.
There was no vote. Been no real standings with scoring. Been no exchange of envelopes stuffed with drug money (hmm damage). Was no ballot stuffing. Just the names of books, as saved in the stack. They will give you maybe want to go to your turn - because that's the idea. Most deserve better than to finish in the rankings: they deserve an entire post, if anything. One can always dream that this list is like the trailer of texts coming in 2011 (I hear laughter in the background: Promises, promises, promises ...). But in truth, she will serve only one thing : Show you that reading each day, while we read nothing, or very little. We're not surlecteurs, we are no better than you, and as such, this list (as proud as it is) has no legitimacy, except, perhaps, of call your own lists in comments.
