JodyAnthony:
Anyone? Mine has to be King Dork by Frank Portman, aka Dr. Frank, of the Mr. T Experience.
although it might just be because MTX is the best band ever.

KB_Hurr_Hurr:
do you mean ones that have come out in the past year??? if so then i'd have to say Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich....
KharBevNor:
I've only read two or three new books this year, most of them train/bus reading.
That said 'Barbarians' by Terry Jones and Alan Ereira.
Gryff:
Please Don't Come Back From The Moon, by Dean Bakopoulos.
Set in a small town in America, where one day all the fathers get up and leave (supposedly for the moon) without explanation. It's sort of a coming of age story that focuses on this kid Mikey as he goes from being a teenager to an adult with a family and such. The book conveys a great sense of longing and uncertainty, of struggling for identity and such.
Gryff recommends.

In the last year I haven't read as much. "Smilla's Sense of Snow" was good if you like mystery novels. I've been burning through the Ian Fleming Bond Books but they are no great fiction but rather good novella. "Unbearable lightness of Being" rubbed me the right way. "Krakatoa" was a dud.
but I'd say that my favorite book from the last year has been "From Russia with Love." The characters made mistakes had doubts and insecurities. There were lasting consequences and regrets. It struck me.
