The New York Times has published its list of the top ten books for 2007. I confess that I haven't read any of them.
For what it's worth, here's a list of the books I did read this year. I found most of them well worth the time and recommend them to anyone interested in the topics they're written about. The ones marked with an asterisk were especially good reads:
