After reading the "Kite Runner" thread I figured it would be nice to have a section for book lovers on this forum. What do you think?

So, what book are you reading at the moment. Any books that really had an impact on your life? What's the best book you've ever read?

One of my favorite books is "Sky Burial". Anyone else on here read this book as well?

My latest read was The Oxford Murders by G. Martinez. It was recommended to me by a Math prof. in UC Berkeley & the writer is an Argentine mathematician, so some math logic and symbols are to be expected. Actually, the main character used these as tools to stop a series of murders. If I'm not mistaken, the novel is adapted into a movie.

My husband is reading that right now.

I just finished a crazy book called Ludmila's Broken English. It's easily the weirdest book I've read in about five years.

I just finished Gordon Ramsay's autobiography and have started "The Corrections" by Johnathon Franzen. Should be good.

I LOVE to read........

I recently read "The Namesake." It was so-so, but some of the writing was really flat and too many characters were caricatures (like, all the white people). I like Jhumpa Lahiri's short stories a lot more. Although now that I've read "The Namesake," I don't have any appetite for her short stories. I don't think I could stand to read another one.

Oh my book right now is "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" but my master's project has to come first, sooooo I've only read about 20 pages in. I'm excited.

My friend bought me books for xmas..." do ants have arseholes?" and " How to fossilize your hamster" ......hilarious....a few colleagues in UK challenged each other to read as many off the BBC's Big Read Top 100 ( this was a survey done i think in 2002)...but the point was to actually read them properly - there were some on that list i wasnt looking forward to but i have to say i actually enjoyed them....some of us had read some as children but the rule was if you hadnt read it in the past 2 years you had to read it! The other upside was we were able to swap books quite a lot because most people had already got a few of the titles
