The Tenderness of Wolves would be my choice.

Vampires are really, really not up my alley. 

I'm doing a search for more titles.  I'm a little behind on lit these days.

One I would like to read is Ken Follett's latest World without end.  It's an epic but if it's anythign like Pillars of the Earth it will read itself.  It takes place in medieval England. 

Riding the rollercoaster of life without a seat belt!

I am up for that MrsPink, I love reading anything really.  In addition, I found a great review for a book called "Three Cups of Tea."

Quote
   In THREE CUPS OF TEA: One Man’s Mission to Promote . . . One School at a Time (Viking/On-sale date: March 6, 2006) Greg Mortenson, and acclaimed journalist David Oliver Relin, recount the unlikely journey that led Mortenson from a failed attempt to climb Pakistan’s K2, the world’s second highest mountain, to successfully building schools in some of the most remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. By replacing guns with pencils, rhetoric with reading, Mortenson combines his unique background with his intimate knowledge of the third-world to fight terrorism with books, not bombs, and successfully bring education and hope to remote villages in central Asia.  THREE CUPS OF TEA is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how one man really is changing the world—one school at a time.

Inspired by the London Book Club thread, I thought I would give this a nudge and see if anyone is still interested.  I would love to go to the London meeting on March 1, but I don't know my way around there and would rather have something local.  Maybe we could piggyback the books that the London group reads, just a thought and definitely open to suggestions.
