Reading list

I have finished Caratrescu's Nostalgia a while ago, and I read three more books, and started a fourth since. The truth is that, sometime I REALLY don't know how to pick them.
The first one was a total flop, but I should have seen it coming, since it was written by the notorious Debbie Macomber, and it was named Dakota Born. What can you expect from a book set up in a small North Dakotan territory, filled with farmers and obedient wives? The amazing feat is, however, just how many good comments she received on Amazon.com. Check it out!
Second book was by my favorite author, John Saul. The guy is good, Nathanial was goosbumping and Brainchild was mind-shattering. Pretty good books, fast reads, enjoyed every second of it, took me three or four days to finish em all.
Book I just started, I'm into the second chapter, is finally a non-fiction. I haven't read one of those in quite a while. Of course you probably heard of the book, it's been out for a while, and it's been back as an updated and extended edition. The World is Flat is a pretty enjoyable book, however what bugs me at the moment is that the author, at least in the first chapter has used the term "the world is flat" in numerous cases, maybe to many for the sheer proof of explaining his case.
We'll see how it turns out to be, and a full book review will be posted here as soon as I'm finished with it.
