I seem to like books that are a little odd - ish.

The books i have enjoyed in the last year that I can think of are:
Life of Pi
Time Travellers Wife
Perfume
I've read all Martin Amis and Ian Banks books. I loved Wild Swans but read that a million years ago and then went onto read Memoirs of a Geisha and loads of other books like that but over that now I think!

I don't do fluffy chick books but don't want sci-fi or anything too dark.
Am pregnat so nothing that will freak me out.

My mum keeps loaning me books about normal married couples and their lives and I hate 'normal' books, I want to be transported somewhere and be gripped a bit and lose myself for a while, you know????

Any suggestions please?
