    Suggestions for my wish list....

    DH has just emailed me asking for a book wish list. I assume it's from my ILs who want to send a B'day present from interstate (and will not take no presents for an answer, no matter how hard I plead) I can't think of anything at the moment, so am after suggestions. Stuff I like, generally:

    - social critiques (think Affluenza, Fast food Nation, No Logo etc)
    - modern fiction (but I tend to have read almost everything that's "hot" because my mum gives it to me) Examples of favourites are Time Travelers Wife, Memory Keepers Daughter, Seven Types of Ambiguity etc.
    - biographies. Of just about anyone.

    Who's got a good suggestion?

    I really enjoy biographies & have read some good ones...

    * Brooke Shields - Down Came the Rain
    * Michael J Fox - About Michael
    * Drew Barrymore - Little Girl Lost
    * Russell Brand - My Booky Wook
    * Greg Manning - Love Greg & Lauren (letters from Greg about his wife's recovery after being injured in the World Trade Centres)
    * Danny Russell - Dear Eddie (Aussie book, letters to his son about his mother who died from cancer)

    Mama Mia (Mia Freedman's new book)
    Sorry for hijacking, just have to ask... Is it good? I love her blog & follow her on Twitter, so I've been thinking of getting it.
