Also, as I work on my spreadsheet of the books I've read over the years, I thought I'd point out a few favorites:
2014: The Boys in the Boat, by Daniel James Brown
Simply an amazing story. I cried at the end of it.
2013: Guns, Germs & Steel, by Jared Diamond
Very interesting & thought-provoking
2012: The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern
Just a fun, magical ride
2011: The Little World of Don Camillo, by Giovanni Guareschi
One of the best stories I've ever read. The movie is fun, too.
2010: The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas
I apologize for judging people based on their opinion of this book. Easily my favorite, and one of the few books I've read more than once. Don't watch the movie adaptations.
2009: The Grand Inquisitor's Manual, by Jonathon Kirsch
Another interesting, thought-provoking work that gives a more complete view of the inquisition.
