Like the fillums one.

1. Aquariums of Pyongyang by Kang Chol-Hwan and Pierre Rigoulot. Harrowing account of a North Korean prisoner who's eventually released and escapes to the South. Not as good as Nothing To Envy or Escape From Camp 14, but essential if you have any interest in the fucked-upness which is North Korea.

2. All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. Probably should have thought twice about reading a couple of heartbreaking books in a row, but there we are. Loved it. Dunno why it took me so long to read any of his books after reading The Road years ago :/
