Nathan Englander's The Ministry of Unusual Cases is the best thing I've read this year.
Also. The saddest.

You would do well to read it.

The National has definately rocked my world this year.
I tried getting into the Darwyn Cooke Parker books but the misogyny puts me off.
I fear Skippy Dies will not be life-changing.
Reading Franzen is making me feel old.
My poetry group makes me feel....?
I'm down to the last of Jordan's PBR. I cannot.
Geography thwarts me.
The new Chicane is really that good.
Telefon Tel Aviv and Apparat did a single together. It's really good.
Titus Andronicus, we tried. We did.
The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future is everything it promises to be.
The Age of Adz is growing on me.
LCD Soundsystem and Gil Scott-Heron were worth it.
Curtis Lane - totally charming.
Scott Pilgrim...if you were there, you know it to be.
44 in Chest was like Sexy Beast but in reverse...so it wasn't like that at all I suppose.
