I read a lot of fantastic books in January. About half of these I read the good ol' traditional way, and the other half I listened to via audiobook. I've learned to really love audiobooks; they're perfect when you're doing things like laundry or working out or stamping jewelry boxes. Anyway, here are my favorites, which all have something really special about them, whether it's the characters or style or humor or profundity or all of the above...
Dear Life by Alice Munro
This Cake is For the Party by Sarah Selecky
Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor
The Rain Before it Falls by Jonathan Coe
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
The Shipping News by Annie Proulx
