Five-Star Recommendations--November, 2009

I am beginning an experiment. While I do view my daily recs as a reading filter as well as recommendations, I also wanted to do something more than toss up lists of links. I've decided, therefore, to see about posting more extensive information and commentary for the stories I've tagged as being outstanding. I think I'll be doing them once a month, but I'll also be going back and adding (backdated) posts of older five-star recs. This is first, and hopefully more will follow.

Following are the five-star recommendations for November, 2009. You can find these stories tagged on Delicious under the ***** tag, where you can further explore by navigating the tags. You can also find all the five-star rec posts on this journal under the five-star recs tag (five-star recs tag on Livejournal).
