I am reading a book called prefume at the moment and it is pretty good, It is not a trendy book, it's about a boy who can smell and knows every scent in the world and it's a dark chilling read, written by Patrick suskind (there are two dots above the u in his name.

I bought the book Avant Garde Magazine Design of the 20th Century a few months back and it is excellent. Filled with good reading, history, social commentary, and kick ass graphic work.
