It's the end of the year, and so the annual "best of" lists have been written and spread across the world of information. I love these lists, comparing them to my own, arguing with them, using them to fill in gaps in my cultural literacy. Actually, I just love lists. Their orderliness gives me hope for my own cluttered life.
So please enjoy this list of my favorite 2009 lists:
Best Under-The-Radar Books of 2009 (part of NPR's comprehensive list of the Best Books 0f 2009)
The New Yorker Blog's Best Ten Films of 2009
All Songs Considered Reader's Poll Results for the Best Music of 2009 (where you can also listen to all the picks in their entirety)
The Chicago Tribune's Best TV shows of 2009
The People's Choice Awards for the Best Podcasts of 2009 from PodCastAwards.com (And if you'd like some personal recommendations, I consider myself a podcast connoisseur.)
And of course, PC Magazine's Favorite Blogs of 2009 (where sadly you will not find Hiving Out listed. Of all the nerve.)
Enjoy browsing and feel free argue with these lists in the comments. We'd want to hear your picks!
