Top 10 lists are almost irresistible to read -- and equally irresistible to write. A typical top 10 list in the
media -- as people who can thumb their noses at books like to call the visual arts -- will consist of 10 movies -- sorry,
films. His list is a little different, if only because genre art is not excluded.
