Perfume - I can't remember the authour
It's about a perfume apprentice who hates the smell of people and only travels at night to avoid them. It's weird but good |  |

Non fiction. Mandela by Anthony Sampson.
Fiction. The Magus by John Fowles.
I dare say some nostalgia at work here as it's been a while. |
oddly i would also recommend the magus - i suspect it isn't a classic but when i read it it completely absorbed me for days and it was unputdownable in a slightly obsessive way. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

I've had that on my shelf for a couple of years, but don't know if I can bring myself to read it. In a similar vein, I've just finished Touching From A Distance, written by Ian Curtis's wife. I knew it wasn't going to end well, but it still got to me. |  | | |

I'm currently near the end of From Beirut to Jerusalem by Thomas Friedman. It's a fantastic insight in to the conflicts in the Middle East. Quite old now but a great read. Will make you re-evaluate what you believe about the conflict whichever standpoint you come from. |
I like these sort of books, Line in the Sand and Prisoners of Geography are two in a similar vein that I enjoyed, so I have bought this based on your recommendation. 29p plus delivery can't go too far wrong.
My own recommendation would be A Short History Of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, as with all his books it is immensely readable and is very informative too. |  |

Patrick Suskind wasn't it? Kurt Cobain's favourite book and he based Scentless Apprentice on it IIRC |  |

Dead Souls, by Gogol.
Apart from being a work of genuine genius, it could set you off on a Russian literary adventure. It did me, anyway, and I love it. |  | | |
