Post-Dispatch rounds up favorite books of 2011
Every December, the Post-Dispatch compiles a list of some of the best books of the year after quizzing freelance reviewers, polling a few book sellers and considering some of the books chosen by other publications or award committees.
This year, a look at other best-book lists reveals as diverse a selection as seen in a long time.
Another list, this one from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, includes the following categories:
- fiction
- nonfiction
- biography and memoir
- military
- regional
- crime thrillers
- poetry
There’s also a link (in the box labeled Related Stories) to a list of local book sellers’ favorites of the year.
