A Home at the End of the World




















Is great and won a Pulizer prize but (I've just discovered) was made into a film staring...wait for it...Colin Farrell. Yeuch!
Also, and call me a complete pleb, but I can't help comparing it to Tales From the City (even if I do find it better written, with fleshier characters and a more interesting exploration of their journeying sexuality).

The Kite Runner




















Like, a billion years later than everyone else.

Will try to keep this fairly regularly updated, although I'm nowhere near articulate enough to actually review the books I read, even in my own mind.

A very non-fiction haul for me - I've been reading A Year of Living Biblically for months in a rather half-arsed way, someone gave me Stasiland about a week ago and I can't put it down and I picked up Flat Earth News last night and was immediately hooked.

I'm also eagerly awaiting the arrival of Wild Swimming from Amazon but I guess that doesn't really count as a "book I'm reading". Any suggestions for some fiction to balance this lot out?
