Currently Reading - The Book Thief, Markus Zusak

It's a tricky choice this one - I've got a couple of other books that have recently arrived, written by local authors that I desperately want to read - but this is next month's bookclub book, and I love those discussions - and I want to have read this book and had some time to think about it. So it's jumping in front of a couple of other ones and I've got my fingers crossed for a cold weekend (given up even contemplating the vague possibility of rain).

From the Blurb:

Death, a sardonic and articulate character who is afraid of humans, narrates this WWII coming-of-age story about faith, love, hope amidst tragedy.
