Finally, We Get To Talk About That Ten Best Books List!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            As previously stated, The New York Film Critics thought with their brains.  The same cannot be said for the book critics.

                              Here are their Five Best Fiction choices, which is what I am primarily interested in--

                               1. "The Door," by Magda Szabo, Translated by Len Rix.
                               2. "A Manual For Cleaning Women--Stories," by Lucia Berlin. Edited Stephen Emerson.
                               3. "Outline," by Rachel Cusk.
                               4. "The Sellout," by Paul Beatty.
                               5. "The Story Of The Lost Child, Book 4, The Neapolitan Novels:Maturity,
                                      Old Age," by Elena Ferrante, Translated by Ann Goldstein

                         Now, compare this with MY List, darlings!!!!!!!!!!  Here is the real thing!

                               1. "The Last Hundred Years Trilogy--The Langdon Family," by Jane Smiley
                                    a.). "Some Luck"
                                    b.) "Early Warning."
                                    c.) "Golden Age."
                               2. "A God In Ruins," by Kate Atkinson
                               3. "A Brief History Of Seven Killings," by Marlon James.
                               $."The Children's Crusade,"
                               6.""A Sudden Light," Garth Stein.

                           These are the books you should be reading, girls!!!!!!!!!!  Who the hell cares about the above list???????  Who has read any of these?  Not I!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Though I have heard good things about the Ferrante, so I am willing to give it a try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              And what kind of name is Cusk?  Sounds PRETTY DIRTY, to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              Read my list, dolls; you will Have a much better time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
