Max Allan Collins picks:

Note: I read very little fiction in 2010 because my reading time was eaten up by research for the upcoming Nathan Heller novel on the JFK assassination...upcoming as in I haven't quite started the writing of it yet.

1. I STILL DREAM ABOUT YOU -- Fannie Flagg. Probably my favorite living novelist. All of her novels have a strong mystery element, though the mystery community has never noticed.

2. SUMMER, FIREWORKS AND MY CORPSE by Otsuichi, translated by Nathan Collins. A very creepy Japanese horror collection translated by my son.

3. DEATH OF A DOXY by Rex Stout. My wife Barb and I love to listen to Wolfe/Archie/Stout on audio book. We're about to start our fourth pass through. This is a very interesting Wolfe set in the swinging '60s.
