Heavy read but worth it.

The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher

Mystery set in Chicago, but the PI is a real wizard, and takes on all kinds of supernatural threats. Sort of Modern Day, with a Fantasy Twist.

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens -- until the day its complacency is shattered by a shocking act of violence. In the aftermath, the town's residents must not only seek justice in order to begin healing but also come to terms with the role they played in the tragedy. For them, the lines between truth and fiction, right and wrong, insider and outsider have been obscured forever. Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case, could be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened in front of her own eyes. And as the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show, destroying the closest of friendships and families.

This is one of my favorite books.

Mattimeo : By Brian Jacques

Mattimeo is a fantasy novel by Brian Jacques, published in 1989. It is the third book in the Redwall series

All his life, the worst thing young Mattimeo had to fear was a stern lecture from his father Matthias, but all that changes when Slagar the Cruel visits Mossflower Woods with plans to kidnap Mattimeo in a bid to shake the very foundations of the Abbey and its inhabitants.

It's surprisingly not as child-like as it appears to be. Very well written and I love it . I love the Red Wall series, and this one is just marvelous.

Curl up in your snuggie or with your hunnie ( ) on a late sunday afternoon and read this book. It's just so great .

And to add, it's even been made into a show/cartoon , though is less "adult" than the book, since the book lets you imagine (like scenes of death or loss).

Don't let the date deter you, it's still so good, even now .

Animal farm by George Orwell, a very curious book with loads of sublet themes running through it. I've read it like 20 times lol
