Best Books of 2009

3 Nov

It’s already starting: the best book lists of 2009.  Amazon has a numbered list, and Publishers Weekly has an unnumbered list (except for the top 10).  I started reading The Boy Who Harnessed Wind lately, and I’m glad to see Amazon ranked it number 10 overall.  It’s a good book.

What’s your favorite book that came out this year?

    I’m not sure I’ve *read* any books that came out this year. Oo

    I was kind of happy to see a new Stephen King collection of short stories. I’ve always enjoyed them a bit more than his novels.

    I’m afraid I’m not any more topical than that. Sorry.

    I’m currently reading The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson, and it’s great. I also liked the prequel, The Men Who Hate Women, or The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, which I believe the English version is called.

    I must say I enjoyed quite a few books this year. The best ones must be (I won’t be stating authors as I am too lazy to check) Greener grass, Kathy’s book, A tree grows in Brooklyn, The flying Troutmans, Along for the Ride (and other Dessen books) Chanda’s Wars, The City of Bones and I re-read I, Coriander.

    Some were just fabulous all around, other were badly written but had a great plot.

    :)

    Probably was The Ask and the Answer for me. It’s the sequel to The Knife of Never Letting Go, by Patrick Ness, which was AWESOME. Ask and the Answer was equally gripping. Really, really good books for both genders.

    I just started =Sonata Mulattica= by Rita Dove, but it’s shaping up to be pretty good.
