David Mitchell's Black Swan Green by a million miles. There's nothing that comes close to it.

Hahaha, some people didn't realise that even though the thread's title is 'Book Of The Year '06'!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
The world is doomed thanks to the idiot majority.

Well, you see, when you say 'book of the year '06, then if your native language is English, and you are in possession of cognitive coherence, then you should be able to work it out without too much difficulty.

I've seen the error of my ways. I now think that the best book of the year for 2006 is the beef and bean Chimichanga that I had last night. It was spicy, and the dough was home-made. Delicious.
In second place, I'd probably vote for the sunset on Sunday evening. It was golden, red and yellow, man. So beautiful.

No, you said that A novelization of a Star Wars movie was one of your top ten books, no offense, but death is too good a punishment for that.
Anything with Darth Bane must be great though. He should be on the cool people list. Good thing some really attractive guy just made a thread about it.
