I'm picking the brains of my flist once more.

I received, for Christmas, a gift certificate to McNally Robinson bookstores. (This is awesome, because I am not allowed to go there with my wallet.) There are a few novels I'm interested in, but I'm looking for a few suggestions.

What have you read lately that blew your mind?

If it helps any, I've recently been blown away by:
House of Leaves by Mark Danielowski
Godstalk and Dark of the Moon by PC Hodgell
Plays Well With Others by Allan Gurganus
Going to Bend by Diane Hammond

Also, Brokeback Mountain is still not playing here. *sulk*

Someone seconded Time Traveler's Wife below, and I recall it looked interesting, so I shall definitely put it on the list.

Thank you!

I have gotten quite a few people to read it, and they all loved it. I hope you also love it! :)
