I wasn't surprised that of my ten favorite books of 2013, nine of them were fiction. But I was surprised that about half of my favorites could be categorized as historical fiction. Although the librarian in me won't allow them to be listed in any other order but alphabetical, I can say that my number one book would be The Son by Philipp Meyer--it was an extraordinary read.
