2009 Favorites
My favorite books from 2009. Remarkably light on the fiction side, I know, but rather than buying new books, most of the fiction I read this year were books I’d read already.
Fiction:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Anne Barrows
Once Upon a Day: A Novel by Lisa Tucker
The Only True Genius in the Family by Jennie Nash
Non-Fiction
The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman
The Match by Mark Frost
The Nine by Jeffrey Toobin
A Place of My Own: The Architecture of Daydreams by Michael Pollan
Notes from the Underwire by Quinn Cummings
13 Ways at Looking at the Novel by Jane Smiley
Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath
Extraordinary Knowing: Science, Skepticism, and the Inexplicable Powers of the Human Mind by Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer
The Candy Bombers by Andrei Cherny
Titanic’s Last Secrets by Brad Matsen
I read fewer books this year than usual. In fact, except for 2000, this is the year with the smallest tally since I started keeping count in 1996. I blame the packing/moving.
How many? 226 books, of which 62 were new–the rest were re-reads.
And a recap of my readng lists:
