The New York Times Book Review®: 10 Best Books of 2008

The editors of The New York Times Book Review have announced their choices for the 10 Best Books of the year, always one of the most-watched end-of-the-year lists. (All books reviewed in the Book Review since December of last year are eligible. The books are unranked and are ordered according to our own current bestselling rankings below. We've listed 2666 twice, because it was released both as a single-volume hardcover and a (gorgeous!) three-volume paperback set.)
