I haven't read a book in a long while, but always read everything from Walter Dean Myers.

My Name Is Red by Orhan Pamuk. Man it was hard work getting through it. Wasn't very impressed but I rarely like authors that win the Nobel Prize.

Ishmael is great, read that in college for one of my Anthropology classes. Quinn has an odd approach, but very insightful, and an addictive read. Originally Posted by Carb0n Fiber

it is quite dense.
if you like it, i would *highly* recommend From Hell by Alan Moore - *nothing* like the crappy movie - probably the best graphic novel ever published.

Graphic novels are one of those little things I enjoy a bit too much... having done color work in the industry, I enjoy the stories as much as the art...
A couple of entertaining recent ones:
The Nightly News by Johnathan Hickman
Political and media satire... incredible graphics (and the information graphics will blow you away)
B. Clay Moore's Hawaiian Dick-- Byrd of Paradise
Great story set in early '50's Hawai'i -- damn fine book.
...and the classic Miller Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
