No Touch Monkey! And Other Travel Lessons Learned Too Late
by Ayun Halliday...who has a blog.

Just a few ideas of books I have been interested in reading...
"March" by Geraldine Brooks
"My Sisters Keeper" by Jodi Picoult
"The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman
Have you read or heard of "Paris is Burning"? It's a great work of non-fiction written by two journalists--one French and one American--about the liberation of Paris towards the end of WWII. I'm not a fan of non-fiction (prefer crime thrillers actually!), but this one really captivated me.
But if want some good crime mystery thrillers, pick up anything by Lawrence Block. The "burglar" series is my personal fave.
Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer (i've read it, but i'll read it again and highly recommend reading it for yourself if we don't read it for book club.)
Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood
(can we say "modern day prophet?" haven't read it, but heard it was good.)
instead of In Cold Blood, why not read Breakfast at Tiffany's? pretty thin by Capote. (only seen the movie...which i own, so we could watch the movie too.)
