UPDATE:"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library." Jorge Luis Borges

READ

"1984" by George Orwell
"My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult -so sad! Will write a review when I have a chance
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard" by J.K. Rowling - read it in about an hour. Great fairy tales!
"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee - so good. Will also write a review when I have a chance
"Bones to Ashes" by Kathy Reichs - another good book by her. Same formula but always a great read.
"The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy - the writing style takes a bit of getting used to but is absolutly fantastic! The way Roy describes things is amazing - in one of the reviews I read it says that she writes from the view of a child.
"Cloudstreet" by Tim Winton - great book! Interesting writing style but a fantastic storyline. Definitely one to read.
"Rides a Dread Legion" by Raymond E Feist - the newest book from this fantastic author. Fantastic as always but do not read unless you've read the 18 books in the series beforehand....

STILL TO READ

"The Tibetan Book of Living & Dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche
"The City of Falling Angels" by John Berendt
"Tokyo Cancelled" by Rana Dasgupta
"Einstein" by Walter Isaacson
"The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living" by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"Audrey Hepburn, an Elegant Spirit" by Sean Hepburn Ferrer
"War & Peace" by Leo Tolstoy
