Best Books of the Year

It's that time again -- when everyone and their cousin comes out with a list of the best books of the year.
Here are a few that I found interesting:

• Library Journal's Top Ten Best Books of 2011
  LJ also has lists by various categories -- some sliced so fine as to be ridiculous-- if you like lists they have lists.
• The Best Business Books of 2011 from Marketplace
  This is an interesting list and the scope of "business books" is broader than I would have expected.
• Slate Writers and Editors Pick Their Favorite Books of 2011
  This is the kind of list that reminds me that there are way more books out there than I can possibly keep up with -- it is fun to try though!
• The 10 Best Books of 2011 from the NY Times
  The first thing they include is the link to the best 100 books, which seems a little like cheating, but I like the graphic they chose for the article.

Tomorrow we will have another list to check out as well, The Exchange is doing their annual Holiday Book Show at 9am with Michael Herrmann of Gibson's Bookstore and Dan Chartrand from Water Street Bookstore.
