In the hands of the Taliban by Yvonne Ridley - It's about the sunday express journalist who got kidnapped by the taliban on her 2001 visit to afghanistan!
Sort of reading three at the same time; A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson Brave New World by Alduous Huxley and then a book about Decartes
The Curious incident of the dog in the night time by Mark Haddon. It was suggested to me by my lecturer, its more interesting than I thought it would be.
I've been reading Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall. It's really good. And I've literally just started Philip Roth's Sabbath's Theater but don't know that I can really read two books at once so may have to abandon that for a bit. Certainly looks interesting though I also need to read Captain Corelli's Mandolin over half-term for English.

Gotta love a bit of Bryson! I'm reading At Home by him now, and also part 3 of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King though I can't for the life of me remember it's title!
'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee currently, but I need a couple of new books to read, preferably dystopian, for someone who enjoyed 'The Road' and '1984', any recommendations?
