The next book I will be reading is called Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie. Sounds like a story that can make you think differently about the world and appreciate what you already have a little more. This is not entirely fiction because it takes place in China 1970's when the "cleaning of the culture" movement had begun. The characters might be fictional, but I am sure they hit very close to what was actually going on. Seems like a short book, but from what I have heard, potent.
ps. there is a movie adaptation of this and even was even nominated for a Golgen Globe award!
