Reader's Ink discussion

I always like putting together my own personal "best of" list at the end of every year, and I thought it'd be fun to toss it out to the group at large:

What were everyone's favorite books this year? (Bonus points for film, theatre, or anything else that tickles the fancy)

My favorites for 2011 are: The Life of Pi, The Help, The Good Earth, Dog's Purpose, The Notebook, Trespass, King James Bible, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter & Sweet, Book Thief, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Great Divorce, Lady Killer, Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, Winter Garden, Quilters Homecoming, Quilters Legacy, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

Born Standing Up, Slaughterhouse Five, Of Mice and Men, The Old Man and the Sea, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, the Hunger Games trilogy, The Indifferent Stars Above, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, Skippy Dies, Remarkable Creatures, and the Little Giant of Aberdeen County... those are the ones that stand out to me, though I am probably missing quite a few!
