Dark yet funny book, where two young Russian men must find a dozen eggs for their commanding officer's daughter's wedding. WWII era novel, short read. Do yourself a favor: get a cup of coffee after brunch, sit down with this book and then do not get up until you finish the last page.
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen.Historical fiction; Love in a Great Depression era circus. Highly enjoyable, but don't expect any large revelations besides a peek into the human condition :)
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino.Insightful tales of cities, as told by Marco Polo to Genghis Khan. Reads like poetry.
