Suggestion of books

[Greedyfly]

Hi there, I confess I am not much of a book reader but do enjoy a good book when I find one. I am looking for suggestions, I am generally not a fiction person although I have read The King Dark Tower series and I loved most of it. I do like auto/biographys I read the Anthony Keidis biograpghy and enjoyed it. My all time so far fave book is Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts - which was suggested to me by a random customer quite out of the blue and he raved so much about it I had to give it a go and I love it. I read A piece of cake - Cupcake Brown which is about prostitution and child abuse, I did enjoy it as much a possible. I also read Marching Powder suggested by Amazon on the basis of me liking Shantaram and again I enjoyed it. The last two books are drug smuggling/prison/crime/auto-biographys and tbh I do seem to like them but I am up for trying anything good. Also read a couple of Sarah Waters books.
Sorry for rambling on. Look forward to your suggestions.

Mr Rosetta has just finished Shantaram and hasn't stopped raving about it.
Have you read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini yet? Though not autobiographical, it is worth a read.
I have just finished C J Sansom's Revelation. Its the fourth in a series of historical who- dunnits. Excellent, gripping to the last page.
I'll look out for Marching Powder. Thanks for that.

Hope you enjoy them.

I bought marching powder on ebay for only a couple of pounds - its well worth a read. But as I said before Shantaram is excellent - Mr Rosetta has good taste. Thanks for the suggestions I will check them out.

Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold is superb, written through the perspective of a murdered child - compelling , (american)

Stewart A Life Backwards -Alexander Masters - true story of a homeless man the author befriended and his "backwards "story of how he ended up on the streets - one of my fave books of all time, heartbreaking one moment and sidesplittingly funny the next
