"Best" is such a subjective term. I'm not even sure what makes a book into one of the best I read in any given year. Sometimes it's about emotional impact, sometimes it's about how deeply it sucked me into its world, sometimes it's about craft and language and beauty, and sometimes it's about other stuff I can't even pin down.

This is my list of the books I liked the best in 2008:

A Long Time Gone, Ishmael Beah
Funhome: A Family Tragicomic, Alison Bechdel
The Curse of Chalion, Lois McMaster Bujold
Blood in the Fruit, L. Timmel Duchamp
Stretto, L. Timmel Duchamp
Stone Butch Blues, Leslie Feinberg
Remains of the Day, Kasuo Ishiguro
The Truth about Stories, Thomas King
Sex Wars: A Novel of the Gilded Age, Marge Piercy
Filter House, Nisi Shawl
Ha'Penny, Jo Walton
