The New York Times has unveiled their list of ten best books of 2011. Here’s the list, with five fiction books and five non-fiction books:

Fiction:

1) The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach.

2) 11/22/63 by Stephen King.

3) Swamplandia! by Karen Russell.

4) Ten Thousand Saints by Eleanor Henderson.

5) The Tiger’s Wife by Téa Obreht.

Non-fiction:

1) Arguably by Christopher Hitchens.

2) The Boy in the Moon by Ian Brown.

3) Malcolm X by Manning Marable.

4) Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

5) A World on Fire by Amanda Foreman.

I haven’t read any of the ten books in this list, though I previously mentioned that Stephen King’s 11/22/63 is on my radar. From the non-fiction titles, I probably will read Daniel Kahneman’s book first, as I am generally interested in psychology.
