    I just finished Everything is Illuminated too, it's very good.

    Now I am reading In Praise of Plants by Francis Halle. A non-fiction book about how plants are great, and often better than animals.

    Redemption by Leon Uris

    Its the sequel to Trinity, one of the best books about Ireland ever written IMHO.

    I have always been put off by a couple of bad reviews the book got, but picked it up for next to nothing in a 2nd hand book shop, so why not!

    Hey me too. It was bloody great. So great in fact, you know the movie will be ****. I'm finishing the Fountainhead at the moment. I think it might actually surpass Atlas Shrugged.
