First of all, thanks to Leslie Healey for sending this Polish interpretation of Emily Dickinson’s poem “Much Madness is Divinest Sense,” which I named this blog for. May it freak you out as well:

Anyway, all the online bookstores Amazon and Barnes and Noble are sharing their Best Books of 2010 lists, and Oprah, great arbiter of reading selections, has shared hers too.
I’m adding some of the books to my TBR list:
- The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot
- The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration, Isabel Wilkerson
- Will Grayson, Will Grayson, John Green
- Hellhound on His Trail, Hampton Sides
- Revolution, Jennifer Donnelly
- Before I Fall, Lauren Oliver
- Incarceron, Catherine Fisher
- Clockwork Angel, Cassandra Clare
Clockwork Angel should be good for the Steampunk Challenge. I’m hoping some of the other books will work for others, but as of today, I’m only participating in three: aside from Steampunk, my own Books I Should Have Read in School Challenge and the Shakespeare Challenge. I am looking for some other good challenges if you have any to suggest.
I'll be reading Will Grayson for the GLBT challenge! LOVED Henrietta Lacks, especially reading it here in Baltimore, in te very shadow of Johns Hopkins.
