It's nice to see that the
NY Times 10 best books of 2009 list includes four women out of five for fiction, and two out five for non-fiction. On other prominent best of 2009 lists, there has been a notable lack of women, as for instance, on the
Publisher's Weekly list: ten out of ten men. And then the National Book Awards:
four white guys. Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against white guys. Some of my best friends are white guys. But come on, seriously.
I prefer yellow guys...oh, and so do you! Saw that list in the Times. I am so woefully behind in my reading I am ashamed to admit I wasn't familiar with one book...don't be hatin'
