The diving bell and the butterfly: a memoir of life in death, by Jean-Dominique Bauby; translated from French by Jeremy Leggatt

Angels in America: a gay fantasia on national themes, by Tony Kushner

The mambo kings play songs of  love, by Oscar Hijuelos

House of sand and fog, by Andre Dubus III

Amistad, by David Pesci

Have you read any of these, or seen the movies? If you have (or do) leave us a comment and tell us what you think!
