am about to search all your reads on amazon to see if any of them sound wonderful ...
but i read the swan thieves (after you suggested i try again) & loved it! & Jane Austin is possible my favourite author (dorky i know but i love her).
but books i loved in 2010 (i might now have to do my own post) ...
the lace reader ...
middlesex ...
the crimson rooms ...
the girl with the dragon tattoo ...
ok the list is endless ... & i read a few more than 39 but then i take books literally everywhere with me. I swear i read half of the swan thieves standing in various lines at the PO in the build up to Christmas!
Oh I love this post - lots of suggestions for me to read!
The Secret History will always remain one of my favourite books, I read it about 4 times a year!

lavelle - actually, i think it might've been you that recommended it to me!
I love this!!! I might do it as well, thanks for the idea. :D
I've read #1 and #10 and I really want to read "An Education" after seeing the movie.
I read the Bell Jar this year as well! Atwood and Austen are long time loves. I also love beautiful book covers - that is how I chose what books to take out from the library for many years. I read many a bad book but I did stumble upon some gems that way.
I read Shadow of the Wind and loved it! I didn't know that Elizabeth Kostova had a new book?
I read shadow of the wind after my honeymoon in Barcelona (my hotel is in it!)
I read the bell jar many years ago in an attempt to understand my own chronic depression.
I can't believe I don't keep a list of the books i read in a year - that is about to change :)
