Seemingly, all 5900 of the magazines and websites I read are doing their annual “best of” and “worst of” lists. I briefly considered doing a “best and worst of the best and worst of lists,” but given how similar all the lists are, I couldn’t see the reason to do it other than sheer puckishness. And if I’m going to invest that much time in puckishness, I’d rather do it on my new play.

I also couldn’t see any reason to compile my own best-of and worst-of list. Who would act on it? Probably no one. So it would be either a pointless gesture or time spent in ego self-gratification. And if I’m going to do that, I’d rather do it in my new play.

In the interest of economy of my time and yours, I’m just going to plug a few things from 2006 that I feel strongly about and leave it at that — until I get to the final post in this series, the list I’ve decided to actually compile each year.
