just finished reading A thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Kosseini (he of The Kite Runner) brilliant book even though its very mainstream at the moment, also nearing the end of The Book thief by Markus Zusak, the format this book is written in is brilliant (told from the point of view of 'death' during the second world war, strange but works very well), a must read i have to say.
