Default 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
