    Book thief is one of my all time fav books. Along with thousand splendid suns, and the kite runner.
    Perfume is a great book, although I think I would not reccommend reading wehn pregnant, his descriptions threw my stomach into knots when I first read it :

    At the moment Im reading 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven'.
    Its pretty good, although its playing havoc with my dreams.

    Just finished the 19th wife, which is about the LDS. Great murder whodunnit plots. Also read House Rules by Jodi Picoult. I normally read one of her books after a heavy book..

    I'm reading the Twilight saga still. Getting through it though. And I'm enjoying it a lot more this time around.

    You know what I miss? A book that is just WOW. Like when Memoirs of a Geisha came out. Or Harry Potter. Whether you're a fan or not, there was a book out that everyone just "had" to read. Or maybe I'm just wearing my ear plugs and am not listening :P Sorry, went a bit off topic there, but just thinking aloud.

    Beansbeans, I read the 19th wife last year and loved it too. The Book Thief is one of my favorite novels too.

    PakRag, have you read "The girl who kicked the hornet's nest"? A lot of people have also been talking about Jonathan Franzen's Freedom, and The Slap by Tsiolkas. I haven't read either, but I know they're big. Another that's on the bestsellers right now that sounds really interesting is called A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness.
