Picking five favorite longreads of the year is tough—an Oscar-esque problem of autumnal riches and a fussy year-long memory—so there are actually nine (or ten or eleven*) here.
选出今年最喜欢的五本长读物是很困难的——这是一个奥斯卡式的秋天财富和挑剔的一年记忆的问题——所以这里实际上有九本(或十本或十一本*)。
Maybe I’m just a long-lister, which seems appropriate for a Longreader.
也许我只是一个长列表者,这似乎适合长读者。
