Re: What Are You Reading?
ooo, i want to read more of Khalid Hosseini. I've read the The Kite Runner and it was the best book i've read for a while. I've also just finished reading Terry Pratchetts, Truckers, Diggers and Wings. Finished Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry, today. Definately a good read.
I would also recommend Sexing The Cherry by Jeanette Winterson. Art and Lies is very good too.
