Canada by Richard Ford
	mscribe9, January 01, 2013 Richard Ford is the best living American writer. Canada places him in the same league as Dreiser, Steinbeck, Larry Brown and Faulkner. Best book of the year by a long shot.

Solace by Belinda McKeon
	mscribe9, January 10, 2012 Most memorable work of fiction I read this year. Brenda McKeon masters character and setting, uses dialogue and its absence to build a searing pace in so old a tale: disconnection between fathers and sons, leaving home and going back again.

Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman
	mscribe9, January 01, 2011 In the era of fading journalism, Tom Rachman writes a novel which serves as exquisite swan song to the rarified world of the international newspaper, and a lasting tribute to the men and women who made it their life's work. Original, heartbreaking, hilarious and most of all, loving, this book redefines and celebrates the modern novel.
