What are your favorite Top Ten books read in 2010?
They don't have to be published this year. If you read them for the first time in 2010, they count. So here's my list:

10. I Am the New Black by Tracy Morgan
9. The Help by Kathryn Stockett
8. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
7. Percy Jackson books for keeping my kids quiet for hours at a time
6. I Drink for a Reason by David Cross
5. Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert
4. Official Book Club Selection by Kathy Griffin
3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid books for keeping my kids quiet for hours at a time
2. The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
1. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Let's hear yours!

This year I got an ereader and stuck to rereading a lot of the classics. Not too odd considering 2010 is the year I found this site.

I've read quite a few "good" books but the best have been some old books that I've read over and over. Several of which I've read over 40 - 50 years ago.

But the best of the "new" books have been;
Under the Eagle by Simon Scarrow and
Roma by Steven Saylor


Added: Boomerang. Not the "GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL", but it kept me smiling.

Some good ideas there - maybe I should get re-acquainted with some classics myself in 2011. Thanks for the thoughts!
