Try "Running With Scissors" by Augusten Burroughs. It's the story of his childhood, growing up in the madcap household of his mother's psychiatrist. It's a true story, and the facts sound like they should be horrifying, but he tells the story from a very humorous viewpoint. He's a good writer, and it's a fun read.

Looking For Alaska by John Green was a great book. (2005)
Also Invisible by Pete Hautman (2005).
Eyes of the Emperor by Graham Salisbury (2005)

Well, one of the best books that came out recently is This Book Will Save your life. If you want a summary, go to books.com, which is barnes and noble.

Life of Pi is fairly recent, so is Until I Find You (John Irving). The Irving book is 800+ pages.

I highly recommend Joanne Harris' "Gentlemen and Players". It came out this spring.

Robinson Curtis Ford's Sword of Atilla, I did not finish it yet but so far it is very good.
