As promised, I've dusted off the 3 Favorite Books poll and done a new survey for 2008. I'm asking a bunch of authors and other publishing people to name their 3 favorite books they read this year. The books don't have to be crime fiction, or fiction at all. They don't even have to have been published in 2008. The only requirement is that the person read it this year and it was one of their favorites.
I'll be posting the picks periodically over the next couple weeks as the responses come in and I get everything together.
You can see last year's picks here: 3 Favorite Books of 2007.
I have a lousy memory, but these two were fairly recent reading and surprisingly good:
Khaled Hosseini, A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS
Sarah Waters, FINGERSMITH.

Nobody asked you.

Oops! I misread the post. Apologies. Just erase, please!
(No need to be rude, Cosmo!)
