Book List!
List-lover Enbrethiliel take note! Steven Riddle posted thoughts about a NY Times list of the greatest fiction of the past twenty-five years, something that initially struck me as relevant as listing "top rap songs" or "best French beers". I would echo Steven's opinions. It seems to me that modern fiction has, to some extent, gone the way of fine art over the past two and a half decades. The best of either crop are a pale shadow of what came before. But who am I to say? I am surely no more credible than a music neophyte criticizing Pavarotti. Listen to modern author David Foster Wallace instead.
