I'd recommend Nikos Kazantzakis' 'Zorba The Greek' , superb. I'm on a bit of a Greco/Balkan/Turkish vibe at the mo.

Pat, haven't seen the film, did read some crits and apparently it doesn't quite hold up, especially the rape scene. The book is written with in a expressive way. As said, it is really easy to read, 1 or 2 days if you get stuck in.
