Scott Lynch's Red Seas Under Red Skies, but don't read it until you've read The Lies of Locke Lamora. Astoundingly intricate masterpieces of plot. Truly.
And now I'm waiting impatiently for the sequel to The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss.
I've stumbled across a surpisingly number of books lately that I'll hang on to for a reread, rather than toss them in the pile for the second hand store. These three were the best of the best for me.
GTF, I've picked up Outliers a couple of times, then put it back because the stack going to the till was just too big. Should it go back into the stack on my next visit?
