Favorite books of 2003
Favorites
Links to previous years are in the year's end tag. I had a hard time coming up with this year's list, not because I'd read so few worthwhile books, but because I'd read so many; I could easily double the size of the list below. Also, this year, what stayed with me tended to be not individual books, but congeries of books, massive backlists by authors that I read in huge gulps.
As usual, this is an entirely idiosyncratic list based on what I read in 2003, regardless of publication date.

Links to previous years are in the year's end tag. I had a hard time coming up with this year's list, not because I'd read so few worthwhile books, but because I'd read so many; I could easily double the size of the list below. Also, this year, what stayed with me tended to be not individual books, but congeries of books, massive backlists by authors that I read in huge gulps.
As usual, this is an entirely idiosyncratic list based on what I read in 2003, regardless of publication date.
- Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is the best novel I read all year.
- Michael Dirda's Readings is the best nonfiction book I read all year. It gave me new books to look for, it expressed my feelings about books I liked so well it felt like Dirda had read my thoughts and turned them into something coherent, but this is here because the experience of reading it was like making a new friend and falling into a fascinated and scattered chat about books in common, books to read.
- Ted Chiang, Stories of Your Life
- I read Peter Dickinson almost nonstop from December 2002 through mid-January 2003. My very favorite Dickinson novels remain the ones I mentioned last year, but using that arbitrary annual cut-off, my favorite of the 2003 lot are Tefuga and Perfect Gallows.
- Susan Fletcher is a YA author with a beautiful, clear style and a subtle hand at characterization. I recommend all her books.
- William Gibson, Pattern Recognition
- Tracy Grant is something of an exception to the multiple-book-recommendation rule. I did read a lot of her backlist, but the book that made a lasting impression on me was Daughter of the Game, a sexy Regency-era thriller with a plot full of hairpin turns. It's clearly a breakthrough book for Grant, reaching a new writing plateau, and far superior to her previous (decent but unexceptional) books.
- Edward P. Jones, Lost in the City
- The Lady's Companion is probably the best of Carla Kelly's books, but I am glad for her other books, too.
- Rosemary Kirstein, The Steerswoman, The Outskirter's Secret and The Lost Steersman
- William Langwiesche, American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center
- George R.R. Martin, many novels and short stories
- Alan Moore, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea and Top Ten
- Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran
- Jo Walton, The Prize in the Game and Tooth and Claw
- Cherry Wilder, The Rulers of Hylor and Second Nature
The reviews will be here; I am much too tired to link to each entry individually.
