Best books of 2011: The Millions' 'A Year in Reading'

       Among the most ambitious 'best of the year' offerings every year is The Millions' 'A Year in Reading'; unfortunately, it's a day-by-day affair, which I have little patience for, so I wait until they've finished before perusing it (though even then, alas, I still can't do so all on one single long page). Now they're done, and in A Year in Reading: Wrap Up Nick Moran also ... well, wraps up this year's recommendations -- 214 books named by an impressive 72 participants.
       With, e.g. Jean-Christophe Valtat recommending Hans-Henny Jahnn's Perrudja ... yeah, that's the kind of breadth and depth (okay: and obscurity) I like to see in a best of the year list.
       Worth working your way through (even if it's not all on a single page, sigh ...).
