Most Enjoyable Reading

'Tis the time of year for lists. Everyone has their people of the year, people who died, top stories of the year, pictures of the year, etc., etc., etc. Cracked.com even has lists of the Top 10 Douchebags of the year, and seven things we should pretend never happened. Time Magazine went a little overboard with 50 Top 10 lists covering every subject imaginable, except maybe douchebags and events to purge from history.

One of the most enjoyable lists is the New York Time's list of the Notable Op-Eds of the Year. Some very good reading here, including...

• the story of the Swiss Army accidentally invading neighboring Liechtenstein
• former U.S. attorney David Iglesias giving his version of why he was fired
• Anita Hill answering claims made by Clarence Thomas in his autobiography
• a local describing how the Virginia Tech shootings affected the people of Blacksburg
• the story of the last surviving veteran of World War I
• summaries and excerpts of Chinese Harry Potter counterfeits
• a group of soldiers describing "The War as We Saw It"
