My wife and I had a small library that has become ridiculously big for a house the size of ours. She likes all that supernatural vampire, werewolf stuff and I am into science fiction and have a good amount of religous writings as well.
Probably the best book I've read in the last 3 years has been The Thirteenth Tale by Dianne Setterfield. Since I started cataloging what I have read I try to pick two books from each year that blow me away. These are usually out of a group of some 57 books read that year. Here is what I have so far.
2007
The Thirteenth Tale - Dianne Setterfield
The Meaning of Night - Michael Cox
2008
Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - JK Rowling
2009 (so far, but subject to change)
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
The Glass of Time - Michael Cox
When I pick up a book I am looking for originality and that quality that keeps me from putting the book down. I like a story that is creative and that can cause me to look at situations from a perspective never before explored.
