If you want to get a head start on your charitable activities, get some ideas from this book that Angelina Jolie is reading. It's Greg Mortenson's Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

3. Another Zusak Masterpiece

Here is a great weekend read suggestion from College Candy: I Am the Messenger by Marcus Zusak. He wrote The Book Thief, too.

I wish I could find a korean book translated in english as my korean is not that strong yet. Or simply a book written by a korean Author.

I needed a new list. My reading has been seriously slacking lately. Time to start anew and fill the bookshelf with new finds :) Thanks Meream!

I love these book recommendations! I never realized how many books I owned until I was forced to purchased an extra bookshelf despite my huge first one. You should consider making this a monthly post! So much fun!

Hi Sheila! I really want to get into books but the only one ive read so far is invisible monsters. Such a good book! Is there any more books like that?

You guys should read The Brief Wonderous life of Oscar Wao - Junot Diaz. After a really long time (elongate really as if you are describing Giselle Bundchen's legs...) a book which I can claim as being brilliant. The last time I called a book brilliant was "Curious Incident of the dog last night" - Mark Haddon. (Read that as well if you haven't read it already) AND "Vernon God Little" - D.B.C Pierre.
