"The Best Books I Read in 2012..."

"Best Books I Read in 2012..." | 35 Contributors | Catholic World Report


Another year, another tantalizing list of good and great books noted and
recommended in this eighth edition of "Best Books I Read..." We've
invited a wide range of
authors and editors to contribute. The books chosen did not have to be
published in 2012, nor did they have to be about a specific topic.
Simply, "What were the best books
you read in the past year?" No limit was set on the number of books,
and commentary was optional.
