Here they are! As I've only read one of these books the descriptions are mostly taken from the covers :)
Monica Ali - Brick Lane<A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0552771155/cerocscotland-21"><IMG SRC="/0552771155.02.MZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0" alt="cover" hspace="3" vspace="3"></A>
The story of Nazeen, a Bangladeshi woman broght from her village aged 18 to live in Tower Hamlets with her arranged marriage husband Chanu. 'Brick Lane has everything: richly complex characters, a gripping story and it's funny too'
Shortlisted for the Man Booker prize 2003
Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination - Helen Fielding<A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0330432745/cerocscotland-21"><IMG SRC="/0330432745.02.MZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0" alt="cover" hspace="3" vspace="3"></A>
Olivia Joules - fearless, dazzling, independant beauty-journalist turned master-spy. 'Helen Fielding has written a contemporary and utterly unputdownable thriller deluxe'
Vernon God Little - DBC Pierre<A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0571215165/cerocscotland-21"><IMG SRC="/0571215165.02.MZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0" alt="cover" hspace="3" vspace="3"></A>
'The adventures of Vernon Gregory Little in small-town Texas and beach-front Mexico mark one of the most spectacularly irreverant, satirically acute and critically acclaimed debuts of the 21st century so far'.
Whitbread Best First Novel Award 2003
The poll is currently set to end on 3rd July, at which highest polling two books will be the reading matter for July (read one or both!) - any suggestions about when we should begin discussing?
