I really enjoyed the conversation we had early in 2011 about your favorite books from the previous year.  I believe I read at least two Bill Bryson books because of that convo.  Offhand, I can’t recall what else.

This year, I decided it might be a bit smarter to have this conversation prior to the holidays, so that it could also potentially help with your holiday shopping.  The New York Times even has its list of 100 “notable” books of 2011up on its website now if you need a refresher.

But don’t forget, this conversation isn’t constrained to books that were published in 2011, just books that you have enjoyed over the past year.  Fiction, non-fiction, children’s books.  They’re all fair game!

To the right: One of my favs from the past year.
