Best books you've read in 2004
Since this is being done in other forums with other subjects, I was just wondering about books.
I'm not good at knowing when a book has been published - so let's do it for the best you've read - be it published this year or 10 years ago, okay? This should be very interesting  So, for me: Fiction Behind The Scenes At The Museum, by Kate Atkinson Tess Of The D'Urbervilles, by Thomas Hardy The Shadow Of The Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafón Something Rotten, by Jasper Fforde To The Lighthouse, by Virginia Woolf Non-fiction Jane Austen, by Claire Tomalin The Brontės: A Life In Letters, edited by Juliet Barker Anne Frank's Diary Also The Da Vinci Code gets a special mention because it's the most grabbing book I've read this year - simply couldn't put it down. And I'm currently reading Wives And Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell and it's looking like it will made it into the list

Jim, before you read Davinci Code, read Angels and Demons which is the first book in the series. I thought Angels and Demons was a lot better, but maybe that is because I read it before Davinci. Anyway, I recommend both.
I really enjoyed "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom. It is a book that makes you appreciate life.
