See if your favorite snubbed by the top 10 made the cut on the long list, divided among fiction, poetry, mystery, SF/fantasy/horror (yes, all lumped together), mass market (is not a genre!), comics and nonfiction. Counting last week's list I have read four of these books -- THE LOST CITY OF Z, THE BELIEVERS, THE LITTLE STRANGER and THE SNAKEHEAD -- not good but no worse than last year.
Meanwhile, Amazon's in-house book blog Omnivoracious posted its top 10 books of the year, attributed to "the editors," which overlaps by one with PW.
Any books you think should have vaulted to the top, or glaring omissions you want to speak for?

I haven't read many brand-new books this year. Now that I think about it, Juliet, Naked and How I Became A Famous Novelist are probably the only two. Both were excellent. Christmas presents and year-end best-of lists are usually my opportunities to catch up on the new books that are worth reading, and we're still a couple of months away from either of those.
