Started Douglas Coupland's Eleanor Rigby. Thought I'd read it already, but so far it's not feeling familiar.

 

I finished Choke a while ago, it was a good quick read! I need to find another quickie!

Just started "House Rules" by Jodi Picoult so far!

Ooo I read Nineteen Minutes a while ago and have just got My Sister's Keeper out from the library after watching the film and blubbing tons and tons and tons!

I'm reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo at the mo but just finished a book called The Wind From the East by Almudena Grandes which was really good. ITtwas translated from Spanish and I really enjoyed reading something in a different style from anything I've read before.

Another book I really loved and would recommend was Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

I'm such a book geek. I used to buy new books all the time (more than shoes or clothes) but I joined the local library recently and now I'm working my way through all the books there instead. I get really giddy and excitable every time I go in

 

I used to be the same! There are still several unread books in my collection, but once I make it through those, I'll be taking advantage of the library as well.

 

I *knew* there was a quick read I wanted to recommend. The Cellist of Sarajevo. Forget who wrote it, but it's based on a true story and from what I recall, I quite enjoyed it.

 

IIRC the actual cellist was pissed about the book...but I can't remember the details. Maybe I'll do some searching.

 

I am reading Through the Looking Glass. I wanted to read it before watching the Alice in Wonderland movie. I have a STRONG suspicion that the movie will be NOTHING like the books.
