A few personal favourites in no particular order:
Anything by either Brady Udall or David Sedaris, especially
Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris, it's HILARIOUS.
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl
It's OK if you've never read Dante's Divine Comedy.
If you're a science buff:
A Short History of Nearly Everything By Bill Bryson
Despite the title, not exactly "history," but instead a pretty interesting and at times funny book which answers various questions about the universe in layman's terms.
If you like graphic novels:
- Y The Last Man by Brian Vaughn & Pia Guerra (This is an ongoing saga, and is now up to Volume 9, I think).
- Preacher by Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon (This series/story is complete)
Can you tell I read a lot?
