Favorite fiction:
Making Money. Hey, it's Pterry, what can I say. He's my hero. :-)
Favorite nonfiction:
Not much to choose from here. I guess Trankebar, even though it was far from as well written as I had expected it to be. But the subject matter - Danish-Norwegian colonial history in India - was very interesting.
Favorite audio:
Hard to choose here. But I guess I have to go with Svik, even though the Vallgren book was fantastic too. Svik had an absolutely fascinating plot, and it was SO well read (by the actress Andrine Sæther - the perfect reader for this book). This really stood out because just before it I had read another audiobook by the same author, but with a different reader, who did a pretty crappy job.
And finally, although I don't normally do this, I have to mention my least favorite read too - QuixotiQ, by a total idiot with no talent. DO NOT READ.

Wow. QuixotiQ has an Official Web Site, did you know?
OMFG.
Not that there's a site, cause anyone can set up a website (although when i first read your comment I thought you meant a fansite, which would have totally blown my mind!! :-D) but that this unbelievably crappy book actually won a Book of the Year Award ... !!! :-o

Well, you know that the Muslim world is developmentally retarded. This is just one more example. If this is the best book that was published in Bahrain in 2004, it must also have been the only one. I mean ... you know what I mean. o_O
I know. Book of the year. I'm still in shock.
