Best Books List

We heard from local readers (and one not-so-local via our Facebook page), who told us what their favorite books from the past decade were (2000-2009). Here’s the list, in no particular order:

• A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Housseini
• Tolstoy: A Biography by A.N. Wilson
• The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer
• One Man’s Wilderness by Sam Keith and Richard Proenneke
• Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane (“great ending!”)
• Three Cups of  Tea by Greg Mortenson (“stayed with me”)
• The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon-2 votes (“feeling of you are there”) (“so imaginative, great story”)
• The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
• The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
• The Hungry Ocean by Linda Greenlaw

Feel free to add to this list by adding a comment.
