I started Inkdeath, the third book in the Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke and I'm loving it so far. It's a YA series that starts with a man who, when he reads, causes characters to come out of books to our world and people from our world to go into the book. It gets pretty dark and scary in a Harry Potter-ish way. She's a great writer--thoughtful and creative.
My Family and Other Animals, by naturalist Gerald Durrell.
I've been to Corfu and saw his villa, but am just now reading this book.
His descriptions of man or beast are both humorous and vivid.

I'm still in the middle of the first one...for some reason it just hasn't grabbed me yet.
I'm glad it gets better though Maybe I'll start it up again.
I'm currently reading The Giver. I should have it memorized by now, though....

That is one of my favourite books EVER! The rest of his books about his travels and animal collecting are equally hilarious and fascinating, especially Three Tickets to Adventure and The Bafut Beagles.
I haven't been to Corfu but I lived in Cyprus for 3 years where Gerald's brother Larry lived and I've read his book Bitter Lemons about the island. Quite a different tone but equally excellent.
