That is wonderfully written book. It's been a long time since I read it, but I remember how much I enjoyed it.

I just read Enduring Love and Atonement both by Ian McEwan. He's an amazing writer. He will have you so riled up! I could not put down his books even though at times they frustrated me so much....

I just finished "Small is the New Big", by Seth godin. It's about marketing. It was excellent. I am almost finished with "Start Small Finish Big" by Fred Deluca. It's another business book. Fred Deluca was one of the founders of Subway restaraunts. The book has several stories of other business leaders(as well as his own) paths to success, starting with little to no money.

I recommend 'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini. Genre: Fiction A dark tale set in Afghanistan, breathtakingly beautiful and horribly shattering at the same time, will strum all your emotional chords. It is a first for an Afghan novel in English. Since the story is set at a fairly good pace and spiced with much emotion and drama, it should be unputdownable for most readers.

It has been a while since I completed a book, but one that has a special place in my mind is "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. It is a fictional piece of work that does some story telling and is adventurous. Numerous reviews have been written about the book and I am not able to do justice to the book if I start writing one here. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes reading fiction. It is an outstanding work.

My little cousin left a book, called "stargirl" at my house and I decided to read it. It was a book for jr. highschoolers/high schoolers, but it was an amazing book on conformity.I read it in a few hours. They should hav more kids reading this book. Jerry Spinelli simply made a great book.

Blood of Angels was an excellent book. It was page turning, criminal law and order kind of story. But there was this average civilian dialogue, it was so realistic and deep. It had psychological twists and turns. also another good read is perhaps The Jungle by Upton Sinclaire. I always found it's sickening and perhaps brutal honesty to be a part of it's charm. It discusses the tradgic tales of a family who lives in chicago and depicts the horror of working in the meat packing industry. It's a horrifying yet unforgettable book. Once you read it, you will never forget it.

I just reread "Little Women", by Louisa Mae Alcott. I love the classics and don't go back to them nearly often enough. Next I will be reading "Broken Trail" by Alan Geoffrion. It is a western that was also made into an Academy Award winning film.

Ian McEwan's Atonement is a fine book. Devastatingly beautiful, it is.
