(Her picks included Jonathan Franzen's "Freedom," Rebecca Skloot's "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks"  and Emma Donoghue's "Room.") But everybody has their own opinion, especially people who write for a living. That's why we turned to 18 of our favorite writers -- from McSweeney's founder Dave Eggers to "Unbroken" author Laura Hillenbrand and literary bad-boy Tao Lin -- to find out their favorites.
