Bel Canto, by Ann Patchett (start with this, but all of her books are great)
City of Thieves, by David Benioff
Motherless Brooklyn, by Jonathan Lethem (start with this, but all his books are great)
The Art of Fielding, by Chad Harbach
Everything is Illuminated, by Jonathan Safran Foer (all his stuff is great)
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, by Aimee Bender
The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barbery (then,Gourmet Rhapsody)
Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole
The Blind Assassin, by Margaret Atwood (all her books are excellent)
Shibumi, by Trevanian
