I've just finished Perfume by Patrick Suskind. Beautifully written with fantastic language and setting, though I did struggle with it because I just couldn't connect to the central character, Grenouille, at all. But the descriptions and language around scent are fantastic - so realistic that I found my allergies stirring up!
I've just started She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb.

Is a novel with a very good first chapter but then it decays. If you can look for the first chapter, do it. You can find it as a short story itself.LoveHatesYou wrote:oh what is that? i am intrigues by anything that involves death. Morbid I know. Ever read the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers? It follows everywhere a corpse can go when you die, and what the body can do when donated- it made me put that little pink donor sticker on my id

At the moment I'm reading The Best Travel Writing 2006: True Stories From Around the World edited by James O'Reilly, Larry Habegger and Sean O'Reilly. I love a good travel book, and this one is full of some impressive authors.
