Best Book You Read in 2008?
All the illiterate haterz can git out.

I'm saying Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Safran Foer.  Followed closely by The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz.

Re: Best Book You Read in 2008?
Too many good ones to choose just one but I enjoyed:

The Forgotten Man - Amity Schlaes
The Story of Civilization - Will & Ariel Durant
The Discoverers - Daniel Boorstin
The Landmark Herodotus - (duh)

A couple not new to me but which I re-read as they seemed quite relevant again:

The Future and Its Enemies - Virginia Postrel
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
