I am winded, you guys. Winded from laboring over this list. This is the first time I've attempted to cobble together a Best Books of the Decade list, and I can't say I'll be up to it for another ten years or so. But my, I couldn't resist the challenge (or profound pleasure, if we're being honest). I kept trying to winnow it down, kept forcing myself to be ruthless. Like somehow I could (or should) keep it to a top ten (flat impossible) or at least a top twenty-five (who are we kidding?).

ReplyDeleteOh my! The beauty. Me want.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I want one for myself. LOL.
ReplyDeleteso awesome!
ReplyDeletei wish i had a link to share, but a friend of mine, on their travels, found a library with large metal letters on its front that said:
LIBRARY!
which made me want to go it immediately. :)
