I save room annually for classics that have ridden my list for years but never seem to make it home from the library. This year, one novel that I am thrilled to have crossed my threshold was Saul Bellow's "Henderson the Rain King." Wry, witty, brilliantly satiric - it represents a word master at the top of his game and a most delightful travelogue of a journey I would loved to have been on.
Great list! I finally read “Lonesome Dove” this year and it immediately became one of my favorites of all time. The characters are so compelling, and it’s an amazing study of aging, responsibility, friendship and loyalty.

Two favorites this year: Lincoln Highway and Demon Copperhead. Very different but both fantastic!
