Books I'd recommend

I've done a ton of reading recently and thought I'd share the names of some books that I have really enjoyed to any other avid readers out there:

1. We need to talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver
Written from the point of view of a mother of a teenager who carries out a Columbine style killing- fabulous writing, a book to really make you think, not light hearted though so definitely won't cheer you up!

2. Small Island by Andrea Levy
Great storytelling in this one, about a jamaican man and wife living in London after WW2, plots interweave very well.

3. The Kite Runner
Finished this last night, about a man who grows up in Kabul and escapes to America with his father when the Taliban take over. A real pageturner.

Hope some of you get to enjoy these too.
