My best book of the last few months was Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami. The only other book I'd read by him was Kafka on the Shore, which I liked but found a tad gimmicky, or absurd for absurdity's sake, whereas I liked Dance Dance Dance very much. It was the same sort of magical realism verging on occult fantasy, but the characters seemed more real.

I don't know if I would call it "best", but a very interesting and very odd recent read was Amberville-- a deeply philosophical noir detective story in a world populated solely by stuffed animals.
