The Blind Assassin
Margaret Atwood (Bloomsbury, $24.95)
"I love this book so much, I've read it several times.
It's really cleverly written, weaving together two quite different stories - one set in the years after World War II and the other in 1998."

Never Let Me Go
Kazuo Ishiguro (Faber & Faber, $22.95)
"Although this book explores a serious idea - a dystopian world where humans are cloned for organs - it's a really easy, interesting read."

The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins (Random House, $27.95)
