50 Books You’ll Want to Read in 2010?

Bookmunch has listed 50 Books You’ll Want to Read in 2010. If you're anything like me, this is mostly a list of the books that you'll be avoiding next year, but will be getting blanket coverage in the papers... Nevertheless, it's a useful selection of what's coming down the publishing pipe.

Hi Mark,

It's not that bad a list - there's some good writers there! Although I thought a lot of these books had come out already, and a few from beyond the grave which makes for another year of dull articles on authorial wishes, editorial control and all that.

I agree that there are a few that might be worth a look (I'll be curious to see what David Foster Wallace fragment they're bringing out). But the book I am most looking forward to in the new year is Best European Fiction 2010 (ed.Aleksander Hemon) which the wonderful people at Dalkey Archive are bringing out in January.

I agree, Mark. I'd especially avoid 'The Canal' by Lee Rourke (on that list) . . . looks dreadful!

bestest,

Appointment

He fingers the ends with the care of a vet
handling a new-fledged baby bird.
'How would you like it cut?' he asks.
'Well.' I reply. 'I have a wedding to stop.'

I know I won't go. Just impediments
are for the movies. But I let him snip
through the blade of afternoon light,
layering out the splits, the kinks, the fluff
as thoughtfully as though I had the guts
to shout your name and race you to the bus.
