City of Thieves
by David Benioff
This book is, hands down, one of the best books of the decade. Benioff has crafted a gripping historical novel that exposes our human nature via his two unforgettable main characters. With an intriguing and clever - if heartbreaking - plot line, this book captures the strength and tragedy of a nation under siege.

Pest Control
by Bill Fitzhugh
A hilarious ride through the accidental world of contract killings, as seen by a bug exterminator whose advertisement for a natural extermination alternative is grossly misunderstood by a mob boss. I couldn't stop laughing!
Leslie recommends:

The Emperors Children unravels during the year prior to 9/11. Set in Manhattan, it depicts 30 somethings and shows the rise and fall of fame and fortune with accessible wit.

by by Francesca by Lia Block
A modern day spin on Greek mythology set in L.A. A young psyche must come to terms with love, life, and her own value in this World. A great read! Poetic and Beautiful.
