These are some books that have caught my attention recently:

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins,the Kite Runner by Khaled Hossein, We Need to Talk about Kevin (sure-winner) by Lionel Shriver, Where Have All the Leaders Gone by Lee Iacocca at $44 (make no mistake, it’s expensive, far too expensive for me) and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I’ve not read all except WNTTAK. That one’s GOOD.

I don’t really get the fuss about Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It’s got a provocative theme, sure, and maybe a little shocking, but I wasn’t really impressed after all the hype my friend created about it. If someone could point out to me what really struck him/her while reading it, I’d be most thankful.

Another movie I want to watch, although my friend said it wasn’t great: The Departed. Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, oh and Jack Nicholson who I remember vaguely from somewhere; it’ll either be very good or quite bad.
