I am in a dry spell, been filling it with some solid mysterys interspersed with Dr. Zhivago, but I am craving a reall good read where I fall in love with the book. Help me please! I read anything from chick lit to classics but find everything I pick up, bores me.

Are they making a film of Perfume, Eekk - interesting. Who?Tis indeed fab book. And real page turner.

Add to that (am only allowing myself one ...) In the Skin of a (the?) Lion - Michael Ondatje - a bit dense but magically written
Will come back later with another one...

Patrick Suskind: Perfume. Get in before they ruin it with the movie. My favourite book of all time.
