2010 - 7 - Permanance (Schroeder)

Pretty good SF. Similar universe and ideas to Watts' Blindsight (consciousness rare, though not a disadvantage), but sunny and cheery instead of bleak and hopeless.

2010 - 6 - Zoe's Tale (Scalzi)

Very good SF

2010 - 5 - Blindsight (Watts)

Excellent. Philosphically like Scott Bakker, but grimmer.

2010 - 4 - Postwar (Judt)

Excellent. Beyond my competence to comment.

2010 - 3 - Jesus for President (Claiborne, Hay)

Very good. The only acceptable Christianity.

2010 - 2 - The Great Emergence (Tickle)

Awful. Historically ignorant, philosophically incoherent, sociologically fanciful.

2010 - 1 - 2666 (Bolano)

Excellent. Huge and weird.
