Flowers for Algernon, by Daniel Keys

A novel written as a diary of Charlie Gordon, mentally disabled man who undergoes surgery to improve his intelligence. I could not hold my tears... Everyone should read this book !

The Corrections, by Jonathan Franzen

The best book I've read for the past year! Loved Frenzen's writing style so much that can't wait to read more.

My Name is Red, by Orhan Pamuk

Interesting subject, but writing... could not finish although tried hard. I blame translation :-)
