Favorite Books of the Year

I have only a single requirement for books to make my best-of-the-year list. I must have read them in 2007. Publication date does not matter, nor does subject matter or type. These are my favorite books read during the year, not the best books published:

1 Look To Windward / Iain Banks
2 The Judgment of Caesar / Steven Saylor
3 The Yiddish Policemen’s Union / Michael Chabon
4 Infinity Beach / Jack McDevitt
5 Michelangelo and the Pope’s Ceiling / Ross King
6 Galactic North / Alastair Reynolds
7 Roma Eterna / Robert Silverberg
9 Fourth Planet from the Sun / Gordon Van Gelder, editor
10 Helix / Eric Brown
