While studying Graphic Design at our local Technikon I had to have some part time work to support my student lifestyle. I managed to hook a job at Exclusive Books in Gateway. Needless to say it was a fortunate turn of events. I had the hugest library to browse and an almost endless resource of the hottest, newest reference. I did however make some other amazing literary discoveries. These are some of them below. It's a mix of adventure, classics - both all time and modern, autobiographies, sweeping saga's and local fiction. I'd dig to hear some of your favourites.

Wow, so many of my favourites are in your pile! Also big fan of Murakami and adored Pitch Black by Janet Fitch :-)
My favourite book of all time is 'Everything is Illuminated' by Jonathan Safran Foer. It has the most creative narrative style I've even come across.
Just in case you were interested!
Hey Gen. Think I had a copy of After the Quake but never got around to reading it. Greg, I remember seeing the cover of that book and thinking it looked pretty cool...one of my must-reads. Anyone read any Rushdie at all?
My mum used to read The Jungle Book to me...& I even had Jungle book pillow cases :)
WOOOW. looovely selection! :)
I've read quite a few of these.. oh oh there is one book i'm dying to get hold of..
it's the book they based 'a good year' (the movie) on.. I think it's called 'A Year in Provence'.. that's next on my reading list, going to try get a copy on amazon while i'm in the uk. books are way too cheap there!
Glad to say I've read about half of those, and the rest are on my list :)
I really love reading, books are a whole experience, so much better than TV.
