Now It's Goodreads' Turn to List the Top Books of 2013

     or, now, for Goodreads)
Fantasy - Neil Gaiman - The Ocean at the End of the Lane
Paranormal Fantasy - Jim Butcher - Cold Days

     King and Koontz?)

Nonfiction - Temple Grandin/Richard Panek - The Autistic Brain:  Thinking Across the

     mechanisms, mayhem, and other things that happened
