My 2004 list has been read about 2,000 times; none of the later lists have been accessed nearly as much. I list books no matter when they were published, since it will take me a couple of years to catch up with the really hot books published in 2009. (Some of them will show up on an upcoming TBR list.) Also, this year I set a personal record, having read 65 books, thanks in part to the Young Adult sources and services class I took in June. Anyway, here's my list in the short version:

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

Great list. I'm going to have to come back and add a few of these to my TBR list.
