I made my way to ten inarguably (at least not if I'm arguing with myself) great books that I truly loved (my sole criterion: I'd actually read them), mulled it over, and pressed the button. The notion of picking the ten best of anything strikes me as impossible if you don't actually know all the candidates.
A few of my selections ended up on the top 100 list (yay, me, I guess).
I also named at least two books published in 2000, which as far as I'm concerned is a year of the last century, but that's an issue for another day.
Imagine, actually reading the books! As a librarian who deals with books challenged by folks who haven’t read them, this is a delightful concept. (Lots of sarcasm, in case you weren’t sure!)
Your experience of not entirely recalling them would very much be mind. I could fill out a different ballot every week for a year, probably, depending on my mood, what I've been reading recently, the barometric pressure, etc...
