I have always liked reading books that have come recommeneded by other people. I was checking my email this morning and I saw an email from Barnes and Noble. It had a list of some of the best books of 2008. I enjoy reading fiction so I think a good goal would be to read all of the books that are on teh fiction list. Here is the list:
From sweeping tales of epic proportions to "small" stories that unfold with deceptive simplicity and understated elegance, here are the debut novels that dazzled us with their boldly original visions, ingenious plots, and unforgettable characters. Heading the list is Tom Rob Smith's suspenseful Child 44, a taut psychological thriller set in the nightmare world of Stalinist Russia.
1. Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith
2. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
3. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
4. The Boat by Nam Le
5. Sharp Teeth: A Novel by Toby Barlow
6. Telex from Cuba by Rachel Kushner
7. Knockemstiff by Donald Ray Pollock
8. The Painter from Shanghai by Jennifer Cody Epstein
9. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski
10. The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart by M. Glenn Taylor
I already have the story of Edgar Sawtelle, so I am going to start with that one soon.
