Favorite new authors: Josephine Tey (The Franchise Affair) and Carroll W. Rankin (Dandelion Cottage)
Favorite "new" novel by a known and loved author: Island Magic by Elizabeth Goudge
Most pleasant surprises (classics that I began with low expectations): Moby Dick, Emma, Master of Ballantrae
Most disappointing: Victorian author, Margaret Oliphant. (In fact, several of the authors I read for my personal Victorian challenge were a disappointment. This is probably why these obscure authors have fallen off everybody's radar.)
Hands down the most amazingbook of the year: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
It looks like I did mostly light reading, but I managed to read twelve books from my Classics Club Challenge list too.

Doesn't look like light reading to me. It's great that you can read on your subway ride. And yay for Kindles! It'd be interesting to see how the percentage of books read on our Kindles is changing from year to year..
