The NY Times list I don't find so helpful, but the Book Review itself is good for making a first cut, I think. You've got to take it with a lump of salt — it's the opinions of an isolated group of individuals, sort of like people stranded on their very own, very large desert island — but it's a place to start from.
Speaking of, is there a similar online review of general/literary fiction for indie eBooks? Sorry if I'm restarting an ancient discussion, but I'm new to this and could use some help in winnowing through the pile of manuscripts.
