The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam - enough blame spread around for everyone to share!
Old Filth - folks rave about this novel, and having read it, I agree!
Wild Things - technically a YA novel I suppose, but not really. I understand it took 5 years to write, which shows as the story hangs together beautifully.
A Skeptic's Guide to Writers' Houses - I read it as a travel narrative book, rather than for its literary allusions. Author pulls off scholarly and approachable at the same time; I hadn't read all of the authors, which didn't matter in the end.
