I will read the first book which is suggested in this post's comments section.

So long as I've not read it already, and I can get hold of a copy. Ta [livejournal.com profile] zenithed great idea (the meme itself) and [livejournal.com profile] bopeepsheep (the suggested book). Feel free to suggest more, but I don't promise to read them.

:-D Quite a lot of it is set in Cambridge, and I figured it was easy to locate, so that's why it came to mind. I hope you enjoy it - I thought it was excellent, and have recommended it to a few people now.

I'm currently reading David Brin's _Uplift_ saga (Sundiver, Startide Rising, ...) and finding it most splendid.

I remember reading sundiver at school and at the time I mainly felt 'meh' -- I remember the idea of uplift being interesting, but not believing in giant mirrors, and thinking the plot was ok but nothing special. Do you think it's worth trying one of the sequels now?

Sundiver is essentially a whodunnit. Startide Rising (which I'm reading just now) seems to be turning out as more of an action book. So far it's set in and around a dolphin-crewed spaceship.

I liked Memoirs of a Geisha. YOu might also.

I did too but I thought that Iwasaki's "Geisha of Gion" was better.

Oooh books! The best thing I've found in a while is The Time Traveller's Wife by Niffeneiger, it's lovely - laughter, tears, time travel, something for everyone.
