The funny thing is that the sff in the top 100 bear only a middling resemblance to the sff here since they start with The Passage and contain Way of Kings, while miss some six or seven from the pure sff list.
As for the top 100, I read end to end 7, partly (100 pages min) 2 more and browsed easily half of them
Of my top 5 non-sff novels of 2010, 3 are on the list (Invisible Bridge, De Zoet and Room), while the 4th is not yet released in the US, only on Nov 9, but I bought an UK copy in October
On the sff side, I read #4, #5, #7, fast read #10, decided I have no interest in #2, #3, #8, while I would try #1, #6 or #9 if a copy comes into my hand but I am not sure if I would like to buy them based on the small samples I saw
oh well vandeemeer edited it well that explains why most of it that I have read I hated. Ok then, glad you said who edited it I can feel confident in ignoring the rest of it then.
Thanks for the list. this is so help me to decide what items to put on my client auto blog store
