This is a short collection of stories, not coincidentally about love and longing. This book really brought me into the characters' worlds, and changed my outlook on my own. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39045291 Red Earth and Pouring Rain: A Novel (Paperback) by Vikram Chandra
Another one of my absolute favorite books. Vikram Chandra is one of those brilliant authors who can weave a tale of completely unrelated stories into one fascinating culmination. It is highly imaginative and riveting. It examines both American and Indian culture through a unique spectrum of wit, drama, love, passion... too good to pass up. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39045217 Youth in Revolt (Paperback) by C.D. Payne
This is the funniest book I have ever read, and I read it twice (which is rare for me). It is the journal of young teenage boy, who is exasperated by his hormones and who is too intelligent for his own good. He gets into a million worlds of trouble, and will leave you laughing out loud at each page. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39045171 The Kite Runner (Paperback) by Khaled Hosseini
This book is fantastic. It's vividly written, you feel like you're in the scene. It is packed with action and covers a long span of space and time and culture. One of those you truly can't put down. ]]>
