Yes, the London Biography by Peter Ackroyd. Staggering in its scope, it will have you reaching for all sorts of other sources and curious about things that you never knew existed. All things come back to London.
London. "If you're tired of London you're tired of life".
The dark satanic majesty of the Big Smoke.
Please do me a favor and read this book, hopefully somewhere in a Victorian pub watching Tottenham Hotspur playing West Ham, with the boulevard laid in yellow evening, among the brash, outrageous and free...you are depressed but you're remarkably dressed.. is it real?

The Diary of a Crush series and Let's Get Lost by Sarra Manning are all ones I've recently read and are very good. I love Sarra Manning as an author in general, so I may be a bit biased.

I just finished "A Complicated Kindness" by Miriam Toews and I liked it so much I started A Boy of Good Breeding by the same author.

I read State of Fear by Michael Crichton. It's a pretty good novel but I recommend it mostly because it makes such valid points about the way politics is polluting the global warming debate. Worth reading. It's fictional but the political tactics used in the story closely parallel what we see happening in the real world.

One Hundred Years of Solitude... AMAZING BOOK, even though it's not new.
Today is the author's birthday, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who won a noble prize for that work.

Go out and get Nightlife by Rob Thurman. Its sort of a dark urban fantasy about two brothers battling monsters in NYC--really funny, spooky and gorgeous. Kind of like Buffy, only way better. And the sequel to it just came out today, called Moonshine.
