Top Ten Reads 2009

I picked out my favorite literary-ish reads amid the shameful sea of smut that I consumed this year...hey! I took the LSAT! Give me a break!

• The Book Thief - Markus Zusak
  
• The Secret History - Donna Tartt
  
• The Stone Diaries - Carol Shields
  
• I Capture the Castle - Dodie Smith
  
• The Bone graphic novel series - Jeff Smith
  
• We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson
  
• The Magician's Elephant - Kate DiCamillo
  
• The Hakawati - Rabih Alameddine
  
• When Everything Changed - Gail Collins
  
• In the Valley of the Kings - Terrence Holt

And if I absolutely had to pick the best of the best it would be In the Valley of the Kings - Terrence Holt. It's just phenomenal.
