best books fiction 2010 for a Holiday reading

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. In charting the mistakes and joys of Freedom's characters as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time.


A Visit from the Goon Squad by JENNIFER EGAN

A Visit from the Goon Squad is a book about the interplay of time and music, about survival, about the stirrings and transformations set inexorably in motion by even the most passing conjunction of our fates. In a breathtaking array of styles and tones ranging from tragedy to satire to PowerPoint, Egan captures the undertow of self-destruction that we all must either master or succumb to; the basic human hunger for redemption; and the universal tendency to reach for both—and escape the merciless progress of time—in the transporting realms of art and music. Sly, startling, exhilarating work from one of our boldest writers.

The Help
Set during the nascent civil rights movement where black women were trusted to raise white children but not to polish the household silver.
Eugenia Skeeter Phelan is just home from college anxious to become a writer, is advised to hone her chops by writing about what disturbs you.
The budding social activist begins to collect the stories of the black women on whom the country club sets relies and mistrusts enlisting the help of Aibileen, a maid who's raised 17 children, and Aibileen's best friend Minny, who's found herself unemployed more than a few times after mouthing off to her white employers.
The book Skeeter puts together based on their stories is scathing and shocking, bringing pride and hope to the black community, while giving Skeeter the courage to break down her personal boundaries and pursue her dreams.
An honest effort converting into a best seller.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Simple and tough facts - that in 1951, a poor black woman named Henrietta Lacks dies of cervical cancer, but pieces of the tumor that killed her--taken without her knowledge or consent--live on, first in one lab, then in hundreds, then thousands, then in giant factories churning out polio vaccines, then aboard rocket ships launched into space.
The cells from this one tumor would spawn a multi-billion dollar industry and become a foundation of modern science--leading to breakthroughs in gene mapping, cloning and fertility and helping to discover how viruses work and how cancer develops (among a million other things).
All of which is to say: the science end of this story is enough to blow one's mind right out of one's face.


The lost symbol

It is atleast as good as Da Vinci Code
The Lost Symbol begins with an ancient ritual, a shadowy enclave, and of course, a secret.
Readers know they are in Dan Brown territory when, by the end of the first chapter, a secret within a secret is revealed.
To tell too much would ruin the fun of reading this delicious thriller, so you will find no spoilers here.
brilliant Harvard professor Robert Langdon finds himself in a predicament that requires his vast knowledge of symbology and superior problem-solving skills to save the day. The setting, unlike other Robert Langdon novels, is stateside, and in Brown's hands Washington D.C. is as fascinating as Paris or Vatican City (note to the D.C. tourism board: get your "Lost Symbol" tour in order).
And, as with other Dan Brown books, the pace is relentless, the revelations many, and there is an endless parade of intriguing facts
