 You're an animal, Viskovitz! by Boffa, Alessandro It's fitting that Roz Chast illustrated the cover of this short, unlike-any-other book; its contents are just as smart and hilarious as her cartoons. Boffa's musings on love in its various forms are sharply observed and hopelessly funny. posted Nov 12, 2008 at 2:12PM

 Purple hibiscus : a novel by Adichie, Chimamanda Ngozi, 1977- Adichie, who recently won a MacArthur Genius Award, tells this story--set in her native country, Nigeria--in beautiful, crystalline prose. posted Nov 12, 2008 at 9:36AM

 The giant's house : a romance by McCracken, Elizabeth The first sentence in this novel, spoken by a cynical librarian, is "I do not love mankind"--and it just keeps getting better after that. posted Nov 12, 2008 at 9:36AM

 The Spellman files by Lutz, Lisa Full of dry wit, this is the hilarious story of a dysfunctional family of private investigators, who are generally too busy tailing and spying on each other to pay much attention to their clients. A sequel, Curse of the Spellmans, was recently released. posted Nov 9, 2008 at 11:04AM

 Perdido Street Station by Mieville, China A steampunk novel full of mystery, set in the wildly diverse and industrial city of New Crobuzon, home to vodyanoi, khepri and human alike. Wonderfully atmospheric and intelligent, a great choice for fans of William Gibson and Neal Stephenson. posted Nov 9, 2008 at 11:01AM
