It's Time to Shoot a Book

Do you feel guilty that you didn't get through the "must reads" of 2010? (Franzen's Freedom, Mitchell's The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, et al.) Luckily, Electric Literature has devised a way to size up last year's big shots that doesn't ask you to turn a single page. Their ratings are based on one criterion - how well it stops a bullet. (Also included - for kicks - is a Kindle.)
