    • We should get readers in Singapore to start a list like that (doesn't have to be new titles or authors). Or NLB librarians could start first. Let's see... mine would be (in no particular order):

    • Heartland/ Daren V. L. Shiau [SING SHI]

    • We the Media: Grassroots journalism by the people, for the people [Available Online]/ Dan Gillmor [302.23 GIL]

    • Marching to Valhalla/ Michael Blake [call no.: BLA]

    • Finding Ben: A mother's journey through the maze of Asperger's/ Barbara Lasalle [618.9289 LAS]

    • The fifth mountain/ Paulo Coelho [COE]

    • American gods/ Neil Gaiman [GAI]

    • To Kill A Mocking Bird/ Harper Lee [LEE]
