He Kills Coppers by Jake Arnott. He's a UK writer, who writes things that are based on true stories from the 60s into the here and now - really good stuff. Also read his other book True Crime, which is also great. They are great toilet books!!! haha

This reply might be kinda late, but I heard they are making a movie out of Memoirs of a Geisha. There was some fuss in Japan because the main characters will be played by Chinese actors. Do you know the young Chinese actress from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? She was also in Hero (with Jet Li), The House of Flying Daggers (aka 'Lovers' in Japan), Rush Hour 2... She rocks! Here's a link for the movie:

...cos I'm such I fast reader and at the moment I have the time to read! YesterdayI re-read Agatha Christie's "The Moving Finger". I LOVE Christie.
And today I'm re-reading Dick Francis' "The Danger".
I have no money to buy new books so I'm stuck re-reading all my old favourites. STrangely enough the books that I think are really really good are the ones I can re-read less often.

One of my all time favourite authors. In the category of Gabriel Garcia Marquez IMHO...The House of the Spirits is kinda like 100 years of Solitude.

My Sister's Keeper My sister's Keeper , and the Notebook, Notebook . Well, everything by Nicholas Sparks is good in my opinion as well as Elizabeth Berg. Especially Talk Before Sleep
I also like Girl With a Pearl Earing.
It seems like all I've been reading lately is the newspaper and medical books on IBS and Gluten Intolerance!! I must work on this. 
Sounds like Memoirs of a Geisha is a good choice from all the reviews.

Hi Ruchie! Great question - I love to read!!
Yesterday I started and finished a book called "Sleeping Beauty" by Phillip Margolin (I'm sick too, so I had a lot of time yesterday). It's a murder mystery type book, lots of plot twists and totally shocked me in the end.
Today I'm going to go to the library and look for another Sharon Shinn book, or maybe something similar. Definately on the opposite side of the spectrum from murder-mystery.
I suppose that what a person reads could say things about them. I like to read just about everything - maybe that means I like to learn and that I'm open minded? Or maybe I just have too much free time on my hands? It's a good thought Ruchie! What do you think?
