Sony bookstore recommendations?

Is it apt to have a thread here listing books you got from Sony's store that you found especially good?

I am a bit disappointed at the fiction choices so far, as most seem to be books of not great merit. Of course, it is so damned difficult and annoying to go through the site, clicking on titles one by one just to get a description, that I haven't bothered to look through them all.

So many seem to be thrillers, detective stories, romance or classics (most of which I've read). I enjoy a good thriller as much as the next guy, but for the prices charged, I'd like to find somle better literature.

Due to the above-mention difficulty in scannng the books, I'd be interested in any posts listing books readers have found to be very good.

I'll start it off by recommending Imperium by Robert Harris. I've not finished it yet, but it strikes me as quite good; historical fiction about the life of Cicero in ancient Rome.

Any suggestions?
