Best books of 2011: Los mejores 25 libros ... in Spain

       Finally, a solid Spanish entry among the 'best of the year'-lists, as Winston Manrique Sabogal reports on Los mejores 25 libros de 2011 as voted on by 57 writers and critics at El País' Babelia.
       The top title is Javier Marías' Los enamoramientos, which I look forward to seeing in English; meanwhile, see the Alfaguara publicity page, or get your (Spanish) copy at Amazon.com
       Remarkably, this is the top-book list which includes the most titles I have actually read -- including the other three among the top four:

• 2. Libertad by Jonathan Franzen
• 3. Némesis by Philip Roth
• 4. El mapa y el territorio by Michel Houellebecq

       (In addition, I've also read and reviewed two titles tied for 18th: Doctor Glas by Hjalmar Söderberg and Solar, by Ian McEwan.)
