OK, I know the Times has fallen on some hard times lately, but is it really credibility-enhancing to use their famous notable books of the year list to shill for books by Times staff writers? I count a total of seven, the two most immediately outrageous-seeming of which - Friedman's and Dowd's books - garnered respective scores of 53 and 34 on Metacritic. By contrast, none of the books on the 2004 list were identified as being by Times writers.
