New York Times Releases List of 100 Notable Books of 2011

As part of their Holiday Gift Guide 2011, the New York Times released this year's list of notable books. You can find it at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/22/books/review/100-notable-books-of-2011.html?_r=2

I haven't read any of them, but Catherine the Great: A Portrait of a Woman by Robert K. Massie and 1861: The Civil War Awakening by Adam Goodheart sound like books I would love to read.

Have you read any of this year's notable titles? What did you think? If you had to choose one must read book of 2011, what would it be?
