Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Gets down to the nitty gritty of a heroin addict and convicted armed robber who escapes to India and experiences life in the raw in the Mumbai (Bombay) underworld. Fantastic. Currently reading The Black Book by Orhan Pamuk (Turkey) - not new, but it's a new translation.

The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham. This has to be my favoutite book in the world, even surpassing the Lord of the Rings. I read it every few weeks, or at least every couple of months. Faboulous

The Broken Cedar by Martin Malone - worth searching out - I can't find it in bookshops any more, but it's brilliant. Don't bother reading it if you're depressed!
If you just want something gripping, anything by Harlen Coben is just about unputdownable.

One Hundred Years of Solitude. It makes you feel as if you have lived a fuller life. It fills you with a different light. It's a beautiful and important book.

I don't read many books - apart from text books for Uni. I really enjoyed Starter for Ten and I would love to see the film sometime.
