Pretty average year in overall terms. Overall I think I see a trend towards more non-fiction, not sure if that will continue.

Highlights
Non-fiction
I've classed it as non-fiction but could easily go in the fiction section. Red Plenty by Francis Spufford is a half-novel, half-fact book about that period in the Soviet Union where they sincerely thought they could overtake the West and create a lavish, consumerist paradise. Easy to read, tragic, and informative.

The Time of My Life, Dennis Healey's autobiography fully deserves its reputation as one of the great political biographies: hugely insightful.

King Leopold's Ghost and The Grand Slave Emporium are good history books

Musonius Rufus: Lectures and Sayings won't be interesting to many, but it is important since the stoic philosopher they called the "Roman Socrates" has been out of print for many years

Love of Shopping is not a gene is a brilliant and comprehensive exposé of the myths of sociobiology.

SF
Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series is a fun, gripping fantasy saga, cleverly done with an intriguing magic system.

K.J. Parker continues to write sardonically dark, magic-free fantasy with the standalone novels The Company and The Folding Knife. If you've ever thought the problem with Thomas Covenant was that he was too sympathetic a character, you'll like these.

Other fiction
Hans Fallada's contemporary story of a tiny, doomed resistance against the Nazis Alone in Berlin is certainly worth reading.

Comics
Robert Crumb's The Book of Genesis was a surprise: a straight depiction of the powerful founding myths of the Hebrews.

Well, that about wraps it up. See you in 2011!
