Fiction
Though only translated into English some years after his early death, Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy has been the success of 2009, and has sold 12 million copies worldwide. Perhaps the secret of the success of these compelling modern thrillers is the main character, emotionally troubled, withdrawn computer hacker Lisbesth Salander. The story opens with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and continues in The Girl Who Played With Fire (a Recommended Read back in January) and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.
Non-Fiction
Biography
Jon Krakauer's Into The Wild was recently filmed by actor and director Sean Penn. Emile Hirsch took the role of Chris McCandless, the high school senior who wandered deep into the Alaskan wilderness, where his body and a note were found four months later. Krakauer followed this huge success with Into Thin Air, a cutting account of the commercialisation of Everest and the manner in which it places lives at risk.
Travel
The eastern border of the Congo is one of the most dangerous regions in Africa, yet it was there that Daily Telegraph correspondent Tim Butcher chose to undertake a solo expedition in the footsteps of Victorian explorer Stanley. Blood River tells the tale.
Mind, Body, Spirit
John O'Donohue continues to be warmly remembered by the countless people who have touched by his spiritual writings - Benedictus was his final book. Rhonda Byrne reveals the Secret to health, wealth and happiness, while in Affluenza the Guardian's Oliver James argues that wealth has in fact served to increase levels of depression across the world and that we need to reconnect with the truly important things in life.
