OK, so I've copied the thread title, but I really want to read something but I just don't know what - nothing too heavy going, but cannot abide any form of chick lit drivel bollocks.

What have you been recommended that really surprised and impressed you?

Something interesting, intriguing, that I can get my (reading) teeth into...

We Need to Talk about Kevin - recommended to me a couple of years ago, I hadn't heard of it or the author but ended up engrossed.

Although I think this appears several times on the other thread!
