Quite a nasty book huh? I read that when I was really young, maybe 13 or 14... I think it had some sort of effect on my psyche.

Skipped ahead in my list after hearing good things about:

Amazon.co.uk: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man: The Shocking Story of How America Really Took Over the World: Books: John Perkins

About halfway through and its engrossing. John Perkins detailing how he was employed to make over inflated predictions of growth should developing countries take out massive loans, with the intention that the growth doesn't happen, the countries can't pay back debt and become client-states of the US

Reading Derren Brown's book at the moment, which I got for my birthday.
For some reason I was really dubious about the idea of reading a book written by a light entertainment TV celebrity but I felt obliged to give it a crack as it was a gift.
Turns out to be very well written, intelligent, extremely engaging and laugh-out-loud funny. Good stuff.

Yeah, I don't know if it'd be tame by today's standards, or even to someone who's started puberty. I do remember it being a great book though. I think the next Banks book I read was The Business, which I seem to remember thinking was pretty terrible.

YES! Wasn't really any story, just basically like a huge picture from her life. Weird.

I'm currently ploughing through Tender is the Night by F Scott Fitzgerald (for about the dozenth time), and Waiting for the Barbarians by J M Coetzee.

I'm working my way through Sylvia Plath's Ariel collection for class. Which is fine because i adore Plath.
