3 lang? oh no! let me rewrite my list... *seriousness*

[splendid moonlight]

- The Audacity of Hope
- Beatrix Potter's books for children (my childhood books)
- That Neil Armstrong biography book my boyfriend has so I can discuss with my Muslim friend whether or not it's true Neil Armstrong converted to Islam after his trip to the moon. I want to point phrases in the book to him and say "see? see?"

Any Haruki Murakami books would be a good gift for readers of any kind

really? a slight OT here: If you can recommend 1 Murakami book for someone who hasn't read him/her before, which book would that be?

backgrounder:
I read these authors, Chuck Palahniuk, Jodi Picoult & Milan Kundera to name a few.

Murakami would also be in my list. But, i dont think he is for all types of readers

Kafka On The Shore, Sputnik Sweetheart or one of his more popular books, Norwegian Wood. But if you were able to keep up with Unbearable Lightness of Being (which i gather you did and loved it) then, you would enjoy Murakami too. Methinks.

You can give him a test drive by reading his collection of short stories: Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman. I recommend that, by the way.
