Technical Difficulties

We interrupt 2011 In Review to bring you this annoying message:

Technology has a weird way of reminding me that no matter how much I kick against it, it still rules my life. As I was compiling my end of year lists, my computer decided to up and die in spectacular fashion and so, armed with my brand new (empty) hard drive, it's back to the drawing board for me. Stay tuned over the next few days when I will be unveiling my Top Ten of 2011, some honourable mentions and a bunch of non-literature related favourites.

Apologies and happy holidays. I should be ready by the time you come out of your egg-nog haze.
