    Haven't read many at all. Life of Pi By Martel was enjoyable, as was True History of the Kelly Gang by Carey and Norwegian Wood by Murakami.

    Atonement was good. I haven't read many either.

    Life of Pi and The Brothers K are the only novels I've finished that have been published since 2000. They were both decent novels.

    At first it seems like I haven't read many but when I think about it, there is more then I would have thought.

    Middlesex
    Water for Elepahnts
    The Birth of Venus

    Recursion by Tony Ballantyne
    Fitzpatrick's War by Theodore Judson

    Both were books I randomly picked off the shelf because they looked good.

    I've read the Potter books and Life of Pi, but I mostly go for the classical stuff or non-fiction.

    I loved both of those books and I also loved The Road. I am sure there are others but I can not remember them at the moment.

    We are to busy getting ready for the running of the Melbourne Cup hopefully this year I will win

    I LOVED Water for Elephants

    I might add My Sister's Keeper to that list...I don't know what else.

    I read Life of Pi but really couldn't get into it at all =/ I still have it though, so I should re-try perhaps?

    I agree the Road is good, if you want something lighter/less literary I suppose, No country For Old Men was also quite good and very quick.

    Wouldn't recommend it. You aren't missing out on much!

    Less literary than No Country for Old Men, or in general?

    Whoops sorry, I meant that No Country to me seemed like a lighter alternative to the Road, it was a bit quicker and for some reason I felt it was less "literary" as Cormac's previous works.
