Washington Post book critic Ron Charles joins us to look back at the best books of 2013.

The Top 10 list he compiled this year included several writers interviewed recently on The Daily Circuit:

• Lawrence Wright's "Going Clear"
• David Finkel's "Thank You For Your Service"
• James McBride's "The Good Lord Bird"

We'll also talk about exciting titles to look for in early 2014.
