Global Reading Challenge Books

The list for the 2008-09 Global Reading Challenge, sponsored by the King County Library System, is now available on the KCLS GRC website. They are a mix of classics, fabulous recent books, and a few I haven't read, so I'm excited to re-read favorites and some new titles.
