Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I just looked at the calendar and about died. July is almost over. Okay time for nominations for August book reads. Nominate just one book. Sinc I was so late this month nominations are open today to july 23, 2009 at about 7 pm CST. Let the nominations begin.

Lorna Doone by R.D. Blackmore

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice

Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut

The Bone People by Keri Hulme

Eucalyptus A Novel - Murray Bail

Gone with the Wind - Margaret Mitchell

Although the suggestions are so far really good, I would like to add one:
Un Lun Dun by China Miéville.

From the books cover:
"Stumbling through a secret entrance, anna and Deeba enter the strange wonderland of UnLondon. Here all the lost and broken things of London end up, and some of its people too - including Brokkenbroll, boss of the broken umbrellas, and Hemi the half-ghost boy.
But the two girls have arrived at a dangerous time. UnLondon is a place where words are alive, where a jungle lurks behind the door of an ordinary house, where carnivorous giraffes stalk the streets ... and a sinister glouc called Smog is bent on destruction. It's a frightened city in need of a hero ..."

I imagine Alice in Wonderland meets Neil Gaimann meets The Raw Shark Texts meets Jumanji. Or something like that ...
This is a YA novel so it should be an easy read :-)
