Your recommendations It's the time of year I try to make the vain attempt to catch up on everything I've missed so far: music, books, movies, comics, sites, games, food, shows, etc.
Is there a list of [blank] you highly recommend or do you have a personal list of what's not to be missed?
It doesn't even necessarily have to be from this year, as long as you enjoyed it this year. I want to hear your recommendations and bests of the year.
I've really been enjoying the following webcomics:

And I always love John Allison's end of year album reviews (he writes Scary Go Round and Bad Machinery).

(plus the usual webcomics that get mentioned all the time: xkcd, Questionable Content, Penny & Aggie, Diesel Sweeties, Wigu, pictures for sad children...)

Buck is a great documentary about a horseman. It's a story about personalities of different people plus it has HORSES! It's one I'd like to watch again.

A silent movie got made this year: "The Artist". It's definitely on my glad I didn't miss it list.

The Emperor of All Maladies was my biggest non-fiction highlight this year. Not only a fascinating "history" of cancer, but also really well written.

I really liked The Girl With trilogy. Though it predates 2011. And big thumbs up here for recent release of the US big screen version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which we saw on Monday.

I read "The Art of Fielding" and thought it was one of the best novels I have read in a long time.
