Every year Stephen King publishes his Best Books of the Year List in Entertainment Weekly. Every year I look forward to seeing this list because King chooses what he considers to be the best books he's read in a given year which are not necessarily books published that year. His choices are usually a good mix of old books and new publications; I've read some good leads thanks to King. He's got pretty good taste in reading material, in my opinion.This year King's choices are:
- The Novels Of Robert Goddard
- The Garden of Last Days by Andre Dubus
- When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson
- The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney
- Nixonland by Rick Perlstein
- Heartsick/Sweetheart by Chelsea Cain
- Hollywood Crows by Joseph Wambaugh
- The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
- Old Flames by Jack Ketchum
- The Good Guy by Dean Koontz
As it turns out, I've got 4 of these books on my TBR pile, and one more on order, so I know what will be leading off my 2009 Reading List.
I wonder how many books Stephen King reads in a year's time.
