I just finished 1000 white women

It was an excellent book and I learned quite a bit about native american culture (I hope it was accurate). I highly reccomend it!

last year: Not sure, I read alot of books this past year though. I really enjoyed Freakonomics, which is not the usual kind of book I would like.

Mostly I listen to books while commuting or running.
Three Cups of Tea was excellent.

I will have to go back to my goodreads account and see if any of the titles jump out at me.

Probably To Kill A Mockingbird is my favorite.

But I also loved The Last Days of Summer by Steven Kluger.

LOVE Lee Child.

 

For me - I'd have to say, Water for Elephants was phenomenal.  Eat, Pray, Love was as well.  I also read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and very much enjoyed that one. 

 

Please don't make me pick just one best. . .
