Barnes & Noble Names Its Favorite Books of 2011 (thepoliticker.observer)
Barnes & Noble has posted its best books list for the year and it looks pretty
much like all the others: in fiction, Haruki Murakami’s _1Q84_, Stephen King’s
_11/22/63_ and — woah, hello George R.R. Martin’s _A Dance with Dragons_ (it
did sell something like 300,000 copies on its first day out.) Its history-
heavy non-fiction list shakes things up a little bit more: Robert K. Massie’s
biography _Catherine the Great_ and Stephen Greenblatt’s National Book Award-
winning _The Swerve: How We Became Modern_, instead of what have become the
non-fiction mainstays in other outlets (Joshua Foer’s _Moonwalking with
Einstein_ and Christopher Hitchens’s _Arguably._) Meanwhile, over at The
Rumpus, Roxane Gay registers dismay with the mainstream of the _New York
Times_ 100 Notable Books list. “The writing I want to see is out there—I read
it every day in literary magazines that are renowned as well as those that are
lesser known or just starting out,” she writes. “I read it in books from major
publishers and small presses and even micropresses. I do not find enough of
that writing recognized by arbiters of excellence.”
