About halfway through Red Seas Under Red Skies, which is the awesome sequel to The Lies of Locke Lamora. If you haven't read this yet and you like good fantasy then I highly recommend them both. Scott Lynch is the best debut fantasy author in a long time.

Re: Reading Recommendations
I`d also recommend Darth Bane: Path of Destruction by Drew Karpyshyn
A great story set around 4000 years before the first Star wars movie, it`s amazing how the charater evolves over the course of the book.
Re: Reading Recommendations
I'd recommend Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. It's a classic and my favourite book of all time. Also, the Picture of Dorian Gray is very clever and I love the plot. Also a classic, but I'm not recommending it for that reason
Re: Reading Recommendations
O Jerusalem - excellent book about the turbulent birth of Israel.
Man's Search for meaning - If you are ever feeling down, read the book, its about how hope keeps a prisoner of nazi concentration camp alive.
Guns Germs and Steel - A classic by Jared Diamond
Thats all I can think off the top of my head :)

I think you mean "The Kite Runner". I agree though, it is an excellent read, and the recently released film is quite good too.
I'm also looking forward to reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns".
However, one that I think people should look out for is "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak.
I defy anyone to claim they finished it without a lump in their throat.
Re: Reading Recommendations
I would recommend 'The Island' by Victoria Hislop, a moving novel about a leper colony located on a Greek island.
Re: Reading Recommendations
I can recommend Leslie L. Lawrence and Robin Cook. Their books are great, even the new ones. I like Robin Cook - Fever the most.
