More Fanfare

The official Fanfare 2009 list is up on our site, along with links to previous lists going back to 1938, the year we began constructing such a thing. It's both enlightening and sobering to go back over the lists to see which books stick around (from 1938, The Hobbit) and which disappear (Jerry of Seven-Mile Creek) into the mists.

Now all you Jerry of Seven-Mile Creek fans, lemme have it.

Da-da-da-DAH
