Most Memorable Books of 2009

I've read many books this year, most of which was great with some mediocre and very few bad ones in between. Not all the great books I read were memorable. However, the books below (in no particular order) stood out for one reason or another. They either had an amazing storyline, fascinating characters, beautiful prose, or all of it combined. Links to my reviews are also listed below:

Zeitoun by Dave Eggers | Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey | Await Your Reply by Dan Chaon | The Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper | The Blue Notebook by James Levine | Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann
