December's Book Bites discussion was about the best books you've read this past year. (They do not have to be new books.)
My two fav's were:
1. The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian. A nice marginally creepy book involving a plane crash where 39 people die, a town of Stepford like wiccans all named after different herbs and spices, and a door in the basement bolted shut with 39 carriage bolts.
2. A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan. Wow, when I finished this one I wanted to turn around and just start it all over again. Inter connected stories that form a picture of where we have been and where we might end up.
And I have to give a shout out to One Day by David Nichols--not necessarily the best book I've read, but it had quite an effect on me. Emotionally I carried it around with me for days.
