Challenge: 50 Books discussion

I thought we could all get great book Ideas if each of us named the BEST book we have read so far in 2010. So, to everyone.....

What is the BEST book you have read in 2010 thus far?

The Songlines

The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney

Its a tie between The Help and Cutting for Stone

My two favorites so far this year are Moloka'i by Alan Brennert and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Neither of them are new, but they were new to me and I loved them both.

It's between The Help and The Lacuna for me. I also enjoyed the old classics, The Brothers Karamazov and The Catcher in the Rye - both first time reads for me.

Solar by Ian McEwan

My favorite so far this year is Riots After Riots by M.J Akbar. It gives an insight to the socio-political elements that eating India inside out.

Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron (Shades of Grey, #1) by Jasper Fforde

that's a tough one....for me, it's a four-way tie: And The Angels Were Silent by Max Lucado and Six Hours One Friday by Max Lucado and No Wonder They Call Him The Savior by Max Lucado and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. i truly LOVED each one of them and am HIGHLY recommending them to anyone and everyone!

1. The Help (the audiobook is FANTASTIC!)
2. Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron (all of Jasper Fforde's books are worth reading)


Based on the above recommendations, I've added Cutting for Stone and Moloka'i to my "to read" list. I'd already included A Thousand Splendid Suns, but I think I'll move it up the list.

Great idea Michael!

We Need to Talk About Kevin- Lionel Shriver. This was a truly FANTASTIC book!! One of the best I've ever read.

My favorite this year so far would have to be Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell.

My two favorites so far are The Glass Castle by Jeannetee Walls and Flygirl by Sherri Smith. I'm currently reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and think it will join the list.

I definitely think The help is right up there The Lacuna not far behind.

The Help was my favorite book of all of last year.

The Book Thief - I am still processing it.

Book Thief was brilliant!!

Mine would probably be Duma Key or Under the Dome. Great big books.
