    I just finished Everything is Illuminated too, it's very good.

    Now I am reading In Praise of Plants by Francis Halle. A non-fiction book about how plants are great, and often better than animals.

    I'm moving onto At Swim Two Birds now. I've heard a lot about Brian O'Nolan so hopefully it'll be good.

    Redemption by Leon Uris

    Its the sequel to Trinity, one of the best books about Ireland ever written IMHO.

    I have always been put off by a couple of bad reviews the book got, but picked it up for next to nothing in a 2nd hand book shop, so why not!

    Hey me too. It was bloody great. So great in fact, you know the movie will be ****. I'm finishing the Fountainhead at the moment. I think it might actually surpass Atlas Shrugged.
