Wicked by Gregory Maguire. It's a retelling of Wizard of Oz from the witch's perspective. It's quite a dark and adult book in places though.
Waiting by Ha Jinn. Not the most accessible book and it's not very long but it is good. It's about a man who wants to divorce his wife and marry another woman but due to the time and place (China back in world war times I think) He can't. World War Z. A book about the world trying to recover after a zombie Epidemic. It's quite good Lovely Bones By Alice Sebold. It's a great albeit sad and hard read at times. It's being turned into a film but it's a good book. |

Anyone who's into crime/thrillers, I'd recommend anything by James Patterson, Jeffrey Deaver and David Baldacci.
Particularly: James Patterson - Along Came A Spider and Jeffrey Deaver - The Sleeping Doll If you're up for a real scary read, though, I recommend: Stephen King - Salem's Lot As for classics... Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray Anthony Burgess - A Clockwork Orange and Chekhov - The Shooting Party are ones I've enjoyed lately. |
