Here is the MeFi thread on 2013 book recommendations: http://ask.metafilter.com/252797/Awesome-books-from-2013
I looked at my Goodreads log for 2013 and here are books that I had read in 2013 and rated highly. Note that most of these books were published before, but I only got to them in 2013: * Wodehouse: A Life by Robert McCrum. A must have for any fan of the master * Ralph Azham, Volume 1: Why would you lie to someone you love? (Ralph Azham #1) by Lewis Trondheim, Kim Thompson (Translator), Brigitte Findakly (Color). Beautiful graphic novel * Lulu in the Sky: A Daughter of Cambodia Finds Love, Healing, and Double Happiness. Beautifully and honestly written by one of my favorite Cambodian writers * Kenya Kenya: A Country in the Making, 1880-1940 a Country in the Making, 1880-1940. Amazing collection of photographs from early Kenyan history. And pretty decent text to accompany the photos. I wish more history books were written like this.
