- Of course, I bought and read Harry Potter the day it came out. I didn't stay up until midnight and actually bought it on Saturday day. I read it over the course of two days because I'm old. It was AMAZING! It managed to tie a lot together.
- I read this second on in maybe an hour while sitting in a Barnes and Nobel one day. It's an easy read. It's the story of a dying woman and her remembering a passionate love. It's written in a stream of conscious style that is mesmerizing. But I didn't like it because i didn't buy the premise.
- Interesting book about how peer pressure and parental control can wreak havoc on adolescent girls. Has lots of case studies. Not as academic as you would think
- Very indepth book about depression including autobiographical details, history of meds, history of psychology, and a whole bunch of other stuff. . . yet it manages to not be too pretentious.

The stories from his childhood in Indonesia were fascinating as well.
