"A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey. A 26 year old man's journey throu a 6-week inpatient rehab facility, "Indelible" by Karin Slaughter. thriller suspense novel but well done, and "Light on Snow" by Anita Shreve. a review says ...New Hamsphire in Winter, with is bleak beauty, makes the perfect setting for a fable of icebound hearts beginning, tentatively, to thaw."

"Small Island" by Andrea Levy.. really fantastically written.. Deserves all the awards it has won here in my opinion!

Oooh - that sounds intriguing. I forget to check the UK listings of award winning books. I've been looking at the best sellers lists here and they are markedly different!
Thanks for the suggestion, Nikki. (Oh, and I spotted you on the BBC photo too. You must have been horrified you see your distressed face up on a gigantic screen for all to see.)

We have a yearly prize over here called the Orange prize.. This book won it quite some time ago, but recently (strangely, two days after I bought it!), it won "Orange of Orange" - the best of all the winners so far.
It really is worth reading.. For me it was very visual it was written so well..
And yeah.. it was a real close up of me too on the screen.. felt so.. invasive..

A very good light reading book for the Christmas season is "A Redbird Christmas" by Fannie Flagg. I highly recommend this book as a relaxing read. It's a real feel good book!
