Book Awards 2008

As always, this isn’t the best of list for books published in 2008, but the best books I read in 2008.  And while nobody else might pay any attention, I actually go back and use these lists.  I use them to make recommendations, to add good books to book lists, to create displays at work, and to select titles to read in book discussion groups.

The Best Book Sary Read in 2008:  Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Foer.  Turns out though that I read a lot of good books in 2008 (and some bad too), so followed closely by Suite Française by Némirovsky, Devil’s Highway by Urrea, Run by Patchett, Geography of Bliss by Weiner, Cold Mountain by Frazier, Dairy Queen by Murdock, and The Book Thief by Zusak.

Happy reading in 2009!
