These are my favorite books which I read this year, regardless of when they were published, in roughly the order in which I read them:
Getting By in Tligolian, by Roppotucha Greenberg -- I reviewed this for Interzone 297. It's a weird, beautiful book, with time-traveling public transit.
Jane Gardam, A Long Way from Verona
Natasha Pulley, Mars House
Aubrey Woods, Bang Bang Bodhisattva. Reviewed for Asimov's, it's a near-future novel about the the current generation's response to the collapse of capitalism, among other things.
John Wiswell, Someone You Can Build a Nest in
Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Father Time -- nonfiction study of how men affect the babies they're around (or not around). The title means time that fathers spent (or don't spend) with babies. Great book.
Richard Powers, Playground
