A friend of mine belongs to a message board called "Favorite Fiction," in which people discuss books online. She has forwarded to me the list that these voracious readers have voted as their favorites from the past year. Sixty-six people voted, many of which seem to read a dozen or more books a month, from what I can tell from their posts. You will recognize a lot of the titles you see listed below.
