Top 10 Books Of 2009

Publishers Weekly announced their Top 10 picks for 2009. These are the books that they thought "stood out from the rest." PW admits that they're not "the most politically correct" choices -- the list doesn't include any female authors -- but, to the editors, they were the best among the top 100 that they had chosen. You can read their reviews for the books on their site.

We want to know what you think. Is something missing? Do you think this is great, or totally off-base? What's your list?
