I read it on vacation last year and you're right-- it was a real page-turner

8. Have you read Kite Runner?

If not, and if the new one looks like it's going to be on hold for a while...Kite Runner is well worth the time.

5. "Veronica" by Mary Gaitskill

It won the National Book Award for fiction in 2005.

Some would consider it profoundly depressing, I'm sure, but I found it life affirming in its harboring of no illusions.

9. "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski is the last fictional book I read.

Damn good book.

And I'm halfway through Chuck Palahniuk's "Haunted" right now, which is pretty good too.
