It looks like listmania has struck me too. I've been trying to resist the trend until at least the end of the year but I caved. I just had to let the Welleristas weigh in on the year about to pass. So I asked our staff, "What's the book you most enjoyed reading in 2009?" I placed no restrictions on publication date or print status so it's a wildly diverse list, as suits us. Here they are in no particular order:
John
Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Liz
Foxfire by Joyce Carol Oates
Bruce
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Jennifer
Far Bright Star by Robert Olmstead
Elizabeth
World Doesn't End by Charles Simic
Zach
South by South Bronx by Abraham Rodriguez
Joan
Introducing C. B. GreenField by Lucille Kallen
Tony
Getting Into Death and Other Stories by Thomas Disch
Travis
Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erickson
Chase
Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
Keltin
Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M. Coetzee
Neil
Are You Dave Gorman? by Dave Gorman
Stephanie
Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon by Tom Spanbauer
Frank
Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America by Douglas Brinkley
Karla
Gone by Michael Grant
And you, dear readers, what was the book you most enjoyed in 2009? We'd love to hear about it.
House.
