Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks
Very interesting, especially if you're into music and/or odd neurological case studies.

Home Cheese Making by Ricki Carroll
I will make my own cheese one of these days when I finally get around to it. I just need to buy some cheese cloth and a gallon of milk. It really only takes about 30 minutes to make your own homemade mozzerella! Who wouldn't want to say they can do that?!

Enduring Love by Ian McEwan
I love Ian McEwan books ever since I read Atonement a few years ago after they made it into a movie. All his books are great, but Atonement is still my favorite.

Mrs. McGinty's Dead by Agatha Christie
Not especially one of my favorites.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Much better than I hoped it would be. I was a little bit afraid I would think it was horribly offensive and wonder why everyone was so crazy about it, but I did think it was a very interesting story with great characters. Worth reading.

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
The story of Bertha Mason, Rochester's crazy arsonist wife from Jane Eyre. A really beautiful but sometimes confusing reimagining of the story from a secondary character's perspective.

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
This YA book caught my eye in the book store because the illustrations are done by Carson Ellis, who does all the album art for the band The Decembrists. It's a great little story and I'll probably read the two other books in the series when I get a chance.
