Books of 2012

It's time for another list of my favourite books read in 2012. Some urban fantasy (Griffin), some good old style space operas (Bear), some pure blood fantasy (Pevel), some surreality (Banks), some gothic stories (Lee), some alternative history (Kay), some hard sf (Egan), some well established writers (Atwood), some intriguing newcomers (Beckett, Bell).
