I just finished reading Seven Years in Tibet. It's actually really, really good and Harrer is almost a totally different person in the book than in the movie. I really recommend reading it.

Nice topic...got some good ideas for new titles yet to read!

I enjoyed reading A thousand splendid suns by khaled Hosseini

Also the books of John Irving [A widdow for one year, Untill I find you, The Ciderhouse rules]

For plain down-in-the-sun books: Tess Gerritsen [medical thrillers, nicely written! Like: The Apprentice, The Mephisto club, The Bone garden] and alltime girlstuff from Sophie Kinsella.

I read The Body Drama by Nancy Amanda Redd while being jailed in my home during Songkran holiday.

It is a great new book. I do recommend it cause this book provides pictures, knowledge and encouragement to young women everywhere to help them avoid feeling insecure, ugly or imperfect when faced with the air-brushed women the media bombards them with. This book covers it all - from body hair, bras ,acne , weight issues, stinkies, bumpies, and even more !
