Year in Review, 2008: Pop Culture
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 07:13 pmI had held off on writing this until now because I thought there might be a couple more books or movies that might squeeze their way onto this list or that; however, my plans for an additional movie were squashed when my Mom got sick last weekend, and instead of reading Meaningful Books, I've gotten on a trashy literature binge again that really doesn't do my literary Top 10 List any favors (but is terribly entertaining nonetheless). So, without much further ado: my Year in Review, 2008, Special Pop Culture Edition!
( Top Books: YA 'Barbaric Yawp' vs. Nonfiction 'No Holds Barred' vs. Good and Good For You 'Literary Pedigree': Let's get ready to rumble! )
( Top Movies: Blockbuster Backlash, and the Art House Aftermath )
( Top Comics/Manga: 'Round Up the Usual Suspects!' )
( My Top 25 Most Listened to Songs )
So, yeah, that's a lot of pop culture stuff. I am looking forward to 2009 for a number of reasons (i.e. continuations of assorted above-mentioned books and comics) and for discovering new things.
