Top Ten Books

On Amazon, they've been doing top ten book lists. I think I'm in the world's best book group (based on what I hear about other people's book groups) and we read our share of books from both ends of the quality spectrum. These are my favourites from the selections we have read. They're in no particular order, and these are all fiction. This list is also somewhat dependent on my mood, although there are a handful here that would be faves under any circumstances.
Life Of Pi, Yann Martel
Middlesex, Jeffrey Eugenides
Peace Like A River, Leif Engler
The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time, Mark Haddon
The Hours, Michael Cunningham
The Known World, Edward P. Jones
The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffeneger
Wicked, Gregory Maguire

Girl In Hyacinth Blue, Susan Vreeland

The brief history of the dead, Kevin Brockmeier
