Nearly finished both the Alastair Campbell diaries and Empire of the Sun (J.G. Ballard). After that I'm probably going to read either Live and Let Die (Ian Fleming) or When We Were Orphans (Kazuo Ishiguro).

Miriel: The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro is an excellent, Booker Prize-winning read.

foa: I second Miriel's suggestion of The Handmaid's Tale. That's a great book. Only Atwood that I've read though.
