Friday Reads: Top Ten List for March 8, 2010
Perhaps because St. Patrick's Day is soon upon us (or maybe it's simply the luck of the Irish), last week's Friday Reads discusson generated a bit of an Irish writer theme. The list includes works by both Colum McCann and Colm Toibin, as well as several other writers from around the world.

Friday Reads: Top Ten List for February 22, 2010
I am putting this list up before I find another excuse for delaying it. After all, tomorrow is time for Friday Reads on Twitter (hashtag #fridayreads), and before I know it, it will be time for me to compile the next Top Ten List!
A word of explanation: This list consists of books that were mentioned more than once during the previous week's Twitter-based Friday Reads discussion. I try to list the titles from most- to least-mentioned, i.e.: "The Postmistress" got the most shouts, and "The Time Traveler's Wife" got at least two. However, my "counting" is highly unscientific as this time. The list is meant to be fun, a guide for reading, and not in any measure some kind of popularity contest, sales graph, or accurate gauge of what's good or bad.
