Books of the year 2011: fiction

What makes a book of the year? There’s no formula for deciding. Some are critical darlings, some are word-of-mouth favourites. Some introduce us to important new voices, some represent the best work from established authors. And some are simply exceptional works we think people will be reading and talking about for years to come. Together, these five books made the biggest impact in fiction in 2011.

    err there’s still all of November and December’s fiction to come out. isn’t this a little premature?

    Generally by now, most publications have received advance copies of the year’s titles.  Are there any you think are missing, or we should keep an eye out for?
