Hi - new to this group. My best books this year have been:

Nabse,
I loved all those books although I have read them in the past. Seems like we have similar tastes!

Hard to say what is my most favorites, but with mysteries and thrillers I liked Natchez Burning by Greg Iles, I am Pilgrim by Terry Hays, The Good Girl by Mary Kubica. In literary fiction, I liked We are Called to Rise by Laura McBride, The Bees by Laline Paull, and Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement.

"The Sense of an Ending" by Julian Barnes -- a Booker Prize winner -- utterly brilliant, a modern classic
Read Martin Amis "Zone of Interest" and J.M.Coetzee's "Childhood of Jesus" and neither did anything for me -- way below their best
Short story: finally read Melville's "Bartleby" -- utterly amazing
Finally read "Jane Eyre" -- loved it
And enjoyed Rowling's two thrillers under name Robert Galbraith, will read new one for sure

Hey New Year and New Comment -- So for 2015

1-4 Karl Ove Knausgård's My Struggle (Vol. 1-4)
5 Salinger by David Shields

Honorable Mention (I'm not including these two in my top five because my wife wrote them and I don't want to be accused of not being objective) J.A. Carter-Winward's Grind and No Apologies.

Another Honorable Mention to Julian Barnes for Nothing to Be Frightened Of.
