Best of 2008
Okay, were going to do something a little different here. Rather than giving you the best books written in 2008 or songs relased in 2008 or movies that premiered in 2008... I am going to give you the best books that I READ in 2008, songs that I first ENJOYED in 2008, and the movies that I first SAW in 2008. This is an important distinction because I don't have to worry about when something was made to put it on my list, which is kind of neccesary, because I don't really read/listen to/watch all that much current media. So without further explaining of the thing that I'm doing now, I give you:
