Chicago Sun-Times contributors' favorite books of the year
The Sun-Times' contributors, including myself and Dana Kaye, reveal our favorite books of the year.
I won't keep you in suspense: mine was the new Harry Potter. I know it doesn't make me look high-brow like most critics try to do, but I was being honest. I flat out loved that book to pieces.
The Sun-Times' Books Editor, Teresa Budasi, also discusses the cutbacks in the paper's books coverage with an essay titled "How the Grinch stole the Books section." The amount of space devoted to books will be cut at least by half. Sad news for all.
Excellent choice, David. If you'd have asked for four - Harry would have been on my list as well. But I'm glad to see I'm in good company with Jim Sallis.

Good on you, David. It was also one of the Economist's 10 books of the year in the category "fiction and memoirs" so we are all in good company.
