2009 seems to have been the year of mystery writers for me. Some authors I've read before and some new finds thanks to newspaper reviews of Canadian mystery writers and some lucky picks from the library shelves.
Stanley Evans
Kate Ellis
Reginald Hill
Charles Todd
Gail Bowen
Peter Robinson
Louise Penny
John Moss
Got into some older science fiction series as well. Nice not having to wait years to find out how it all ends.
C J Cherryh series: Company Wars, Faded Sun, Age of Exploration and Cyteen
Tanya Huff The 4 books of the Valor Confederation and her fantasy The Enchantment Emporium. In the past I've read several of her Blood series as well.
H V Morton is another author I'm glad I stumbled across. Most of his books, set just after WWI, are out of print now but through interlibrary loans I have been able to read most of his British Isle travel books and his articles on London. They are almost better than time travel. You get to visit but avoid bad weather and outdoor plumbing. MORTON

That is quite an impressive list! I'm sure you know a lot more about the world than those who put in much time in front of the "one-eyed-babysitter"
I thought I was doing well at 35! But...I guess I do spend a little time quilting...and way too much time on the computer.
It's always wonderful to find a new author that you like...I wish you many more of those in this new year.
Great reviews and an impressive list of authors ;)
