I mostly read fluffy stuff this year. The real stand out for me was "Jonathan Stange and Mr. Norrell" by Susannah Clarke. It's the most original work of fantasy I've read in a long time (not a humble "chosen one" to be found!)
Other fun books I enjoyed include:
"Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident" by Eoin Colfer
"The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi
"Harry Potter" HBP
"Eat, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss
