I'd guess it's going to be a while before these "Best of the Year" lists finish. Some sites even wait until a month of so into the new year before making their choices - shock, horror.
In "The Independent", Susie Boyt picks The Spare Room by Helen Garner.
"The Washington Post" gave a nod to Breath by Tim Winton, Diary of a Bad Year by J.M. Coetzee, and His Illegal Self by Peter Carey.
Clive James provides his choices for the "Times Literary Supplement".
And the "HorrorScope" weblog gave its choice of the best Australian Dark Fiction of the year.
