My 2 cents

After The Old Man and Sea, and Waiting we need more books to choose from. Here are my suggestions for reading: The five books below are relatively short and easy to read. Some of them I regard very highly.

1. Into the Wild http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Wild -- A movie will be out 2007.
2. The Kite Runner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kite_Runner -- 雪 recommended it highly to us -- A movie will be out 2007.
3. A Thousand Splendid Suns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Thousand_Splendid_Suns
4. Reading Lolita in Tehran http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Lolita_in_Tehran
5. The thirteenth Tale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirteenth_Tale_(novel)
Click on this and click again and again untill you get this cool site http://www.thethirteenthtale.com/ -- Thanks to 竹林子's brilliant idea on audio book, we found and checked from MCPL the Thirteenth Tale on CD. We took it on our trip to Colorado. It was a welcome surprise during our otherwise a long and boring 2 days drive along I-70 west.
