My Year in Reading '09

Of the books I read for the first time this year, these are the 9 I liked best.  I didn't include the old faves, like A Small Place, Omon Ra, and Everything Flows, all of which I reread.  No particular order.  Alphabetical.

Row 1, L-R: The Book of Chameleons; The Complete Maus; The Darkroom of Damocles

Row 2, L-R: An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter; Homage to Czerny, Oryx and Crake

Row 3, L-R: Persepolis, The Road, The Sirens of Titan

I just finished The Road. I swallowed my heart reading it. Gripping. Chilling.

(Happy New Year!)

Happy New Year, John - Couldn't agree more. I'm interested to see how 'they' translated it to film.
