Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time books have kept me interested for the last year. And happily so! They’re a little long winded, and there is an average of 700 pages per but you simply must read Eye of the World, the first book! It’s breathtaking.
I just finished Neil Gaiman’s latest masterpiece, Stardust. By the way, read it! He also did the americanization for Mononoke Hime
The Myst trilogy is surprisingly fantastic! Especially for being a video game book.
Bored of the Rings is the funniest thing I’ve read since Guy Stuff!
It’s already been mentioned, but I’ll second A Confederacy of Dunces. This link will take you to the B&N page with some reviews of the story. Damned funny book.
both by Simon Singh. Both very good reads, but could lose youy if you dont like the subject matter.

“trapped by the girl in the mirror and a bed that calls my name
standing on my own yet again, unabashed by the
cyclone of morons that abound this place
shhh, i think they’ve found me
hiding in their closet listening in on their
idiocy and mocking every phoneme
and allophone spilling from their diseased beings.”
Quoted from “Idiots”, by Prose
