My favorite book I read in 2010 was The Book Thief. (The Help was my favorite read in 2009.)
I have had Mere Churchianity on my bedside table since it first came out. Every time I pick it up and start reading, I feel so sad that I put it back down, but it is still on my reading list for the year.

Anita, The Help is my favorite read of 2010, too. I love that book.
2nd is The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.
My least favorite was The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a must read. Great story, with believable characters that you can become totally absorbed into their life.
