NPR's best reads of 2013

[Mark Kohut]

The book had one of the only three women to review it do so on NPR. Meg Wolitzer, writer, prolific. 
Her lack of enthusiasm was palpable, her kinda passive-aggressive 'well, it's kinda interesting but.." review
might be what has guided their selection, full as NPR is with the full-throated enthusiasms of
Maureen Corrigan and Alan Cheuse.....

A notable absence. I've broadcast my disappoint with BE, but I still think it belongs on any list of notable books for 2013. It's Pynchon, for (whatever's) sake, and ought to be read and discussed, at the very least. Not clear if everyone over at NPR read and disliked it, or if they didn't bother. Pynchon's least good book (in my apparently minority opinion, anyway)still merits at least an honorable mention on any best of 2013 list.
