All of the "Best of 2010" lists are coming out, and so some of the library staff were discussing our fiction favorites from 2010 over lunch. Some titles that came up were Freedom by Jonathan Franzen, Under the Dome by Stephen King, the Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender, Red Hook Road by Ayelet Waldman, and Skippy Dies by Paul Murray. Of course, for each glowing endorsement there was someone berating it. There is nothing like a good tussle over lunch! What would be on your best list?

Room is an amazing read! It's so unusual and powerful. I don't think The Passage is necessarily a good book (although highly readable!) but it's the first book I read after moving to my new house in the country. I was so sure that "Smokers" were lurking in the woods! When people asked what I liked best about my new house, I had to say, "garage door opener!"
