Can def recommend "the Secret History"!
One of those that maybe isn't so startling as you're actually reading it - but in the week - two weeks after, you realise how fab it was because you really miss it!
(Still can't get into her second book (the Little Friend) for some reason - anyone managed it?)
Can't disagree with Latin Lover either, the Dark Materials are fab.
Personal Fav of recent times "The Emperor of Ocean Park" Stephen L Carter.
Read this on a beach in Barbados after finishing Roots and not thinking ANYTHING could hold my attention ever again, it did!.
(But then this is coming from someone who has just re-read the Flambards Series and cried all over again, and often spends time with Stanley Gibbons part 19)
Let us know how you get on - I'm with Em, book threads are us!
