Studies and common sense tell us that decisions are stressful. Deciding which four books to select as the best out of the 50 books I've finished so far this year is definitely a stressful decision. Note this books may have been written in other years, but I only finished reading them this year.
The categories will be:
Best Non Fiction Personal Development
Best Non Fiction Business Development
Best Biography
Best Science Fiction
Best General Fiction
I've written articles on most of these already in my blog.

Best Non Fiction Personal Development
The Social Animal (****) by David Brooks
Best Non Fiction Business Development
The Ultimate Sales Machine (****) By Chet Holmes
Best Biography
American Prometheus The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer (****) By Kia Bird and Martin J. Sherwin
Best Science Fiction
Makers (***) by Cory Doctorow
Cory wrote an epic book of our near future when 3d printers begin changing the way we buy things and what we value. Cory's wrote a tighter plot in his other novel Little Brother, but the journey isn't as imaginative.
Best General Fiction
The White Tiger (****) By Aravind Adiga

If you only read these 5 books, you'll have missed out on a lot of wonderful books, but you'll still get a good set of books.
