NYT: Top 10 Books of 2005

The New York Times narrows it down to the top 10 books of 2005. Better than the top 100, because I'd never read that many books in a year anyway. The only one listed that I have an immediate desire to tackle is On Beauty by Zadie Smith.

i'd be into "prep" except that i hear there's a ridiculous set piece where one of the central characters drops a tray in a dining hall and everybody shames him by chanting "you! you! you!".
