I just finished City of Thieves by David Benioff and I loved it. Considering it takes place during the siege Leningrad in WWII, you wouldn't expect it to be thrilling AND gently humorous but it is. I recommend it.

I'm currently reading 2666 by Roberto Bolano and seriously, I can't even put the plot into words. I'm not even sure I know exactly what it's about. I alternately love it or hate it, depending which page I'm on. I'm halfway through it ....weirdest book experience I've ever had but I think I recommend it.
