Best of Lists
It’s the time of year for best of lists, best suited for holiday reading or holiday listening (and even holiday viewing, though that’s not of concern for this post). Two note-worthy examples:
- The Best Book I Read This Year from the Editors of Atlantic Magazine. It’s not just a list of books published in 2015, it is, just what its title suggests, the best book. Atlantic is a publication still much concerned with books and reading so it’s worth a look. If you find a title you’re interested in, be sure to look in our ODYsseus Catalog, I bet we have most of these. (For what it’s worth, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt was probably the best book I read over the last year…)
- National Public Radio 50 Best Albums of 2015. A long list, much to listen to…there are songs posted with each of performers so you can get a sense, along with the album cover, of what the music is.
- The Editors at the Huffington Post has also published their 18 Best Fiction titles of 2015…
- Updated 12/15/15, Atlantic has also published Best Books We Missed, a piece where Ann Hulbert and Sophie Gilbert chronicle “now is a moment to mention an array of 2015 books across the non-fiction and fiction spectrum I wish we hadn’t missed…”
- And while we’re at it on a blustery wet Tuesday, here is the New York Times Best Books of 2015 list…
- Updated 12/17/15, The New Yorker has a Books We Loved in 2015 list…
- And Vulture has a 10 Best Comic Books of 2015…
- Updated 12/23/15, The Daily Beast has published a list of Best Children’s Books of 2015…
