Great books you read in 2009?
adam-_-: Flat Earth News - Nick Davies: An interesting discussion about falsehood and PR in newspapers and the media generally.Hackers & Painters - Paul Graham: Read it this year and enjoyed it a lot.Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts: Awe inspiring "true" story about a convict who escaped to India.  Really made me want to take a trip to India.  Perhaps not the highest quality prose but a gripping story never-the-less.A Simple Act of Violence - R J Ellory: I'm reading this right now and it's the first book in a while that has really grabbed me.  Well written crime/thriller type book.
