"Life of Pi" is awesome.. definately my book of last year.
As far as race relations.. I'm currently reading "To Kill a Mocking bird".. (its not giving me the book to link to at Amazon.. strange!) and I am LOVING it hugely.. having to convince myself I can't read ALL the time!! *l*
"Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S Thompson is a must for a drug related read *lol* And "Mr Nice" is a favourite autobiography of mine.. About Howard Marks, Britains largest drug dealer at one point!! "Snow Blind" by Douglas Kalajian
is another autobiographical work about drug dealing.. this time importing Cocaine into the US in the 70's..As for ceontemplation.. how about "Sophies World" by Jostein Gaarder.. tis a very philosphical book!
I got some great book tokens for christmas, so am off to spend an afternoon in the bookshop later this week..
So far on the list is a John Irving book.. probably "Cider house rules" or "Hotel New Hampshire", "The Tin Princess"" by Phillip Pullman (my current hero!!), and another which I've forgotten now *lmao*Enjoy your reading...
