# Top Fiction Books of the Year

Looking back I read a lot more non-fiction than fiction books this year.  I love fiction, but honestly was a bit disappointed in the fiction books I read this year.  This is my list of my favorite fiction books. (These are order of my favorite with best at the top.)

- Supreme Courtship by Christopher Buckley — Funniest book I read this year.  Not sure why I didn’t blog about it.  Probably my favorite fiction book of the year.
- [The Magician](https://bookwi.se/the-magician-by-michael-scott/) by Michael Scott — I am cheating a bit because I am really talking about the series rather than the particular book, but this was a good young adult fantasy series.  Also [The Alchemyst](https://bookwi.se/the-alchemyst-the-secrets-of-the-immortal-nicholas-flamel/) and The Sorceress.
- [The Tourist](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4590265-the-tourist) by Olen Steinhauer — Good spy thriller.  In the vain of the Borne books.
- [Diamond Age](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/827.The_Diamond_Age) and [Snow Crash](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/830.Snow_Crash) by Neal Stevenson — Different books, but hard to pick which is better.  They are the origins of the cyber-punk style of writing.
- [1984](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5470.1984) by George Orwell — This is a classic.  I had never read it before.  It is both very dated and quite modern.
- [Chasing Francis](https://bookwi.se/chasing-francis-by-ian-morgan-cron/) by Ian Morgan Cron — Fictional story of a pastor that looses his faith and then rediscovers it by learning about St Francis.  Not a perfect book but good attempt.
