There are obviously many indicators for which books are among the best. Good reviews, sales figures, chatter, etc. Another great indicator for us here at the library is which books get worn out and justify re-ordering, over and over again.

Listed below are a few such titles, all with fresh new copies in the mix:

Interzone
by William S. Burroughs

Fall On Your Knees
by Anne Marie MacDonald

A Boy of Good Breeding
by Miriam Toews

Portnoy’s Complaint
by Philip Roth

The Summer that Never Was
by Peter Robinson
