Super V's Book Club!

OK these are books that I've recently read! Wow!

Race Against Time, Stephen Lewis (amazing, lucid, a call to action, he calls it like it is and does not mince words)

Oryx and Crake, Margaret Atwood (holy krykie! what a story! i ploughed through it! a plausible world, not sooo far away...)

The Art of Pilgrimmage, Phil Cousineau (yes! it is a pilgrimmage i'm going on)

Lighthousekeeping, Jeanette Winterson (a wonderful world, fantastique! full of myth and storytelling and love and intrigue ~ and lighthouse culture)

Sky Burial: an epic love story of Tibet, Xinran (author of the Good Women of China) ~ what a story, time changes, she goes to tibet to join the army to find out what happened to her husband and lives a nomadic life in tibet for 30 years, never loses faith, incredible)

Dreams of the Peaceful Dragon ~ a Journey Through Bhutan, Katie Hickman (what a journey, through the isolated east of Bhutan with a cast of characters and unbelievable nature)


The Broker, John Grisham ( the fastest read in the west! it totally caught me and i couldn't put it down. it'll probably be a movie)
