The Wall Street Journal prepared a bundle of lists for you to browse (including the "50 Friends"). Of the online sites, Slate.com has its staff favorites; the editors of Huffington Post knew what
they liked. and Salon offers its "ultimate book guide".
The library review journals are just gearing up: first
