1995 was an unusually good year with The Lost Scrapbook, Sabbath's Theater, Rings of Saturn, Blindness, and The Island of the Day Before (in English.) If I hard to pick one it would definitely be The Lost Scrapbook, though.

Pretty sure this is the only book I’ve read from 1994. I enjoyed it quite a bit at the time but it’s one of those books that I held in lower esteem after letting it marinate in the old noggin for a while.
The only other ‘94 book I could even find that I would want to read someday is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
