My friend Cathy is leaving the country, so I raided her bookshelf the other day. Picked up two China Miéville - she says The City is one of her favourites. Also a Bratt guide, which is the best travel guide for Rwanda. An Ian McEwan. My Sister is a Serial Killer, which I'm sure turned up as a recommendation on amazon a while back, and The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, simply because the cover is lovely and shiny. Also, Primo Levi, which is the only one of these - and the travel guide - which I've previously read. Picked up my copy in Auschwitz some years back and thought it was incredibly written. One for the top shelf. At this rate, I might have to get a second bookshelf made.
