Heard the name of Sergei Magnitsky? This book is written by his boss. Captivating, but sad story. Well written for someone who is not a writer per se.

The Toaster Project by Thomas Thwaites
On my routine ride to work on subway I was reading Metro. The free newspaper suggests new books on a regular basis and this time something sounded interesting. The book recommended called something like ' a goatman' by Thomas Thwaites who described what it's like to be a goat by 'turning' himself into one. I thought wow, that's something really brave from any point of view. When googled his name at home I came across The Toaster Project which turned to be quite a success when it was published. I really enjoyed this tiny book. It is very informative and is NOT boring at all despite the subject. I read some chapters a few times :-)
The Goatman is definitely on my list now. I applaud Thomas on creative ideas and courage. It is very inspiring, actually.
Saturday by Ian McEwan
My first book by McEwan and I wish I discovered him earlier. The story line captured events that took place within a single day, but it felt like it described a whole world. I want to read more from McEwan.
