Also thought it only fair to omit re-reads from Best Of consideration. I generally assume that any book I'm re-reading is already a 'best'.
2011 was a great year for books (despite the naysayers) and I loved many of them. (As you know, I rarely finish a book unless I'm enjoying it.) But, we're all enamored of lists and in the end, I decided to add yet another to the year end phantasmagoria of lists.
So, without further ado, here are my 2011 year end lists:
