	Mark gave to: A Spot of Bother (Hardcover) by Mark Haddon	my rating:
	Mark said: "Yes, this is what it was called, A Spot of Bother. I really enjoyed this novel, liked jumping between the characters. It's basically a family comedy of errors, with each family member making the situation worse, but not intentionally. " add a comment
	Mark gave to: The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night Time (Insiden Anjing di Tengah Malam yang Bikin Penasaran) by Mark Haddon	my rating:
	Mark said: "Couldn't put this book down. Loved the language, the story, the main character. (The book certainly spawned its share of imitators, with a whole slew of autistic first person narratives following fast on its heels.) Loved the follow up novel as well. " add a comment

	Mark gave to: Dermaphoria (Paperback) by Craig Clevenger bookshelves: read-in-2007	my rating:
	read in January, 2007 Mark said: "This book is very Burroughs-ian. I loved it. Like Paul Auster's Travels in the Scriptorium, this book also features a main character who wakes up in a mysterious room, not knowing who he is. Over the course of the book, he puts it all together.
