Oh boy! I love book lists! Any of these you'd particularly recommend?

Most of them are mysteries or children's books. Animal, Vegetable Miracle was excellent. Another funny one was Sound Bites - the author is the front man for the band Franz Ferdinand. He writes about his culinary adventures when his band is on tour. A Girl called Zippy was also excellent, laugh out loud memoir of a kind of dysfunctional family.
