The new Clinton book is fabulous!
Also, Naomi Klein of 'No Logo' fame has a brand-new book out.
Titles as below. Enjoy!

I am likely to be caught with a Grisham. his style is just amazing. He tailors his stories with supense, trills and wonderful humour.
But my main inspirational author, as an writer is Chenua Achebe. He is one writer that is simply out of this world.
I have read so many books that I have lost count. But let me see the ones that actully made me think and act:
Things Fall Apart-Achebe
No Longer At Ease- Achebe
Arrow of God- Achebe
The Pelican Brief-Grisham
The RainMaker-
The Partner-
the Firm
THe Last Juror
The chamber
The Testament
The summons
The Breathren
A painted House
The client
The Metres circle-Robert Ludlum
The Prizi Family- Richard condom...
they are so many I cant even begin to recall all. But if you are interested in fiction and have not read a Grisham before, try one. He is simply mesmerising.

I'm love readin soooooo much. I like readin in every thing that i need to know, fiction, non-fiction, politics, poetry, economics, relligion,...etc but in differnt percentages. I started few days ago to read "satanic verses" for Salman Rachdie. It's first publushed in 1988. It's talkin about Islam and the holy Qur'an. The novel caused much controversy upon its publication,and was banned in India and burned in demonstrations in the United Kingdom.

There are so many books that are out there to read and I know that I'll be taking a few suggestions from this list. Some of my recent favourites:
The Alchemist- Paulo Coelho (every want a book to inspire you and calm you at the same time- this is it!)
The End of Poverty- Jeffrey Sachs (gives you info so you know what you're talking about)
One Hundred Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee
The Crubile- Arthur Miller (I know it's a play!)
Slave- Mende Nazer
New Internationalist Magazine is also great reading.
and I'll put more up as that come to me

I am a reader of all sorts and recently, i got stuck reading a science fiction for the first time.It's entitled Legacy of Prometheus written byErick Kotani. It tells about how man can look for ways to explore the space for solar energy. It made me realize that wherever place on earth, man competes with one another for wealth, power and fame.It's very interesting

reading is a very unique experience.....you can through it touch another cultures, ages, and even planets....everything i read makes me think......abit makes me act.....like all these books related to the human history.......and philosophy......i'm a son of a great civilization"ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION"...this civilization praised the mind over the needs.......even if the ISLAMIC communties are far from that now......this history inspires me and alot of other people to act and think and reform.......i like:
1.causality theory by al-ghazalie
2. all the works of the egyptian philosopher anis mansour
3.the greatest of them all "QU'RAN"
really it stimulates my mind and motivate me to observe the universe and see the beauty of the creations created by GOD

I find Bhagwad Gita as the most inspiring literature
and a treasure containing all the nuances of life...and beyond that. It instills knowledge and simultaneously drives into action...
