If your tastes drift toward fantasy, robert jordan's wheel of time will keep you busy for the next year or two. the first few books in this series are a great read.
I haven't been reading that much fiction lately. mostly just textbooks like Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation, 5th ed.
or Simulation in the Social Sciences.
ick.

It is very similar in style to Jitterbug Perfume, Tom Robbins.
If you like a clever funny book that actually makes you laugh out loud, go for this one.

I always recommend a revisit to "A Wrinkle in Time" Madeline L'Engle.
Cliche maybe, but Palaniuk's "Choke" & "Survivor" were great. His newest, the short stories that I can't remember the name of right now, was entirely vulgar and I loved it. (Pool drains and self-pleasuring)
My suggestions are moot this morning.
I am currently reading the "Da Vinci Code" because I felt it was time I hopped on the train. Obviously because a movie is coming out. It's okay, so far.

and it's probably a good thing you are reading the daVinci code, i am sure the movie won't compare

i was such a dorky kid, i used to go to these young author's conferences and lois lowry was one of the guest speakers. it was right after she wrote "number the stars". i thought i was the coolest kid on the block cause i got her autograph in that particular book. however, i was not the coolest kid on the block because none of the other kids cared.I just re-read the Giver by Lois Lowery. I read it as a kid but dude, that book is not for kids. I understand it so much better now. It's sort of sci-fi, like dystopia, 1984 Jr.

"East/West" is a pretty good introduction to Salmon Rushdie,
Italo Calvino is great, "If Upon a Winter's Night a Traveler" is amazing, i've been amazed by everything i've read by each of these guys
