Hudson Booksellers, the company that runs bookstores and newsstands in airports all over North America, has announced their best books of 2006. Not surprisingly, there are few if any surprises on the list, below. Still, it's great that they're promoting excellent writers like Richard Ford and Sara Gruen.
