100 Notable Books

Every year the New York Times puts out a list of notable reads for the year and it's always a wealth of information for titles you overlooked, meant to read, can put on a list of "gotta reads," etc. It's full of great suggestions in every imaginable genre and even includes a list of best childrens books of the year as well. The list can be found here, but another great way to browse is by linking to the Book Section of the Times where all of the year-end lists, and there are many, can be found. Happy reading to you all.
