The New York Times has posted its list of of “100 Notable Books of 2011.” As seems to be the case every year, I have read zero of them; I am, however, in the middle of 1Q84
So here’s a fun little question for you: the list is arranged alphabetically by fiction and non-fiction, why are 11/22/63 and 1Q84 located in their stack locations? It took me a moment to figure out. At first, I was slightly perturbed that they were burying Murakami’s work. Now I think it’s fair.
