The Space Between Us sounds like something Iwould like.
I just finished The Belliever by Stephanie Black for book club. Set in "New America" where "logic' reigns and religion has been abolished. Wouldn't have chosen it myself, but better than I had expectd...I like distopias.
Another distopia, Animal Farm. I was listening to this while my son was working on his Stalin project, so they went nicely together.
As soon as I can get Lolita I'll be reading that, and for our upcoming book club, Three Cups of Tea. Looking forward to that.

I picked up Peter Robinson's Friend of the Devil at the airport last week. He is a British author who writes mysteries with Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks as the main character. Robinson writes good, intelligent who-dun-its. I read it while on my mini-vacation in Jacksonville, Florida.

I recently finished Scooter, by M i c k Foley, and I'm just about finished with Stone Cold by David Baldacci and on deck is Hold Tight by Harlan Coben. This book Stone Cold is (to me anyway) a lot better than The Whole Truth, which I just read too.

I am re-reading "Perfume" by Patrick Suskind which I feel is one of the great modern classics. I suspect it is one of those books people will either love or hate.
It is a very dark tale of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille in 18th Century France who sees life purely through his extraordinary olfactory sense. Very, very dark , pungent book bringing to life a man who is more animal than human but yet a fascinating dip into a complete different view of life. Repellent and absolutely absorbing at the same time.
Extremely original , to me beautifully and fluently written and quite fascinating ( the movie a couple of years back was actually excellent too).
