Best book you've read this year? Pic related. It's one thing to be a well written allegory on WWII and a great examination of humanity, but there's some great characters in it.

The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet by Reif Larsen. I found it in the clearance section of Barnes & Noble for two bucks. I recommend it highly.

"Vanity Fair claims Larsen received just under a million dollars as an advance from Penguin Press following a bidding war between ten publishing houses.[1]"

Pretty good for a debut novel.
