Am curious whats hot in the world of novels these days.. I've been recommended so many now i have time on my hands.. and to be fair, aside from Tim Dorsey, I've found little to fire the imagination. I've heard that Looking-Glass Wars is worth a read and just happens to have comic book tie-ins. 
 
So whats floating your boats guys and gals?

Trying to read the Alchemist every night, but I usually end up dosing off after a few pages. 
 
But I usually read David Sedaris and Chuck Palahniuk, or whatever my friends recommend me

I'm reading Greg Rucka's novelization of Batman: No Man's Land right now. Last book I finished was the first Dean Koontz Frankenstein book last year. I'm usually so busy with new comics, back issues and trades I have no time for novels.

Anything by R.A.Salvatore is fantastic :-)  I adore his series about Drizzt, the drow elf. Such a good writer. It's a long series, but he keeps every book interesting.
And of course, Harry Potter. I'm reading it over for I think the 80th time (no joke). It never gets old.
Right now I'm reading Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. I'm not even half way through and it is soooo good!
I'm aiming to read the Hunger Games next cause people keep telling me that they're good.

Tch, novels? I dont' have time. I'm trying to write one. . . 
 
Kidding! I read generally whatever I can get my hands on. I just finished reading Mary, Mrs. A Lincoln, which, if you're interested in that kind of thing, is a fictional biography of Mary Lincoln. I really need to get to a library. . .

It's not a novel, but I just finished reading The Wordy Shipmates my Sarah Vowell. It is a very funny and interesting look at early American history.

@texasdeathmatch: I love how she writes. Short and sweet. Judging by the third book, I'd say "Catching Fire" is my least favorite, even though it was still very good. Very, very good.
Good to know, I'm actually getting tired of this "oh which boy should I choose" Twilight nonsense. Slowly coming to the realization I may be reading a book series for teenage girls, so hopefully the violence comes back, fast.
 
But yeah, her writing is awesome. Easy to read yet extremely descriptive.

52: The Novel.
 
I just want to see if it's any good. It's alright, I guess, but lacks a lot. It removed a few of the stories.

Thats a great book. If you like it I suggest you follow up with Anasi Boys.
Also I would suggest you read Good Omens, one of my favorite books ever.

Last book I read was The Hunger Games which was really good but the sequels kind of sucked I heard. I am reading Blackwater for school and The Shining for fun.

I'm nearing the end of The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. After that I'm going to continue reading Le Morte D'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, as well as several books of short stories that I have started and yet to finish.
