Black Friday Book Breakdown

I was going to write about Black Friday and how horrible we are as people.  Then I realized that, in the spirit of starting things too early, I would prefer to just start my end-of-the-year book rating.  As usual, this super-priced version is both obscenely early and will never cost you, the reader, less (if you act now!).

(Just a taste of putrid degradation to get you in the mood)



(I think this clip says more than I was probably going to say if I were to really write about Black Friday... and my reaction:



Did I just embed a video clip within a parenthetical tangent?  You bet your ass I just did!  I even just threw in an aside right here to get fancy! I got game, y'all!)

So, anyway, here is my initial flushing-out for the big reveal at the end.  Again, I realize that many books of quality may not rank as high as some may feel they should.  But, this is a list of the books I enjoyed this particular year.  This first draft of my ranking (and top 5) included some tough decisions.  But, what I went with was how I felt after reading the books.... and, by all accounts, "Winter is Coming."
