Oryx and Crake (Maddaddam Trilogy #1) by Margaret Atwood
	ajhagg, January 28, 2011 I'm a sucker for the post-apocalyptic, and I love the way this book imagines a future in which the most normal of men becomes something of God to the innocent offspring of the end of the world, all the while he's just trying to survive. The way Atwood describes the pre-apocalyptic world in flashback seems far too close to the truth.

Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford by Ron Hansen
	ajhagg, January 28, 2011 Ron Hansen utilizes a style that creates a book that not only perfectly encapsulates what you think it would feel like to live in the time of Jesse James, but also comments on our own celebrity-obsessed culture, all the while reading like the most beautiful prose poem you've ever stumbled across.
