Jeff VanderMeer Looks at the top ten Books of 2010

Omnivoracious: Best Books of 2010: Top 10 Science Fiction and Fantasy Selections:
"As the list above suggests, in 2010 several debut or relative new writers published strong sui generis novels, alongside outstanding work by a few established authors, and helped spark a mini-SF/fantasy renaissance."

I like the term sui generis (Oxford: Of one's or its own kind; peculiar. Also used attrib. †Also illiterately as n., a thing apart, an isolated specimen.) As much as I enjoy grabbing the latest in my favorite series I enjoy the challenge in reading something coming from a completely different perspective.
If you're looking for a book to read then this is a good list for suggestions.
