I like this list since the titles included are not on every other “Best of 2010″ list…
The Collected Stories of Deborah Eisenberg

Deborah Eisenberg
A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers by Will Friedwald
Private Life
by Jane Smiley
The Evolution of Childhood: Relationships, Emotion, Mind by Melvin Konner
What Becomes A. L. Kennedy

See the 15 runners-up here



This is a great list — and I know what you mean, it IS nice to see some different books on a list
