The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, Day 1)The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, Day 1) by Patrick Rothfuss
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.76
One of the best fantasy novels I've read; he uses no fluff, no method writing, and no gratuitous anything. It's a rich frame tale, and feels like legend and reality at once.
Man on FireMan on Fire by A.j. Quinnell
Buy new: $7.50 / Used from: $0.01
Wow! Definitely unhealthy in its grandeur: I realized that I had read over 300 pages in one sitting, and tried to take a break. And failed. Creasy is beast.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) by J. K. Rowling
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $6.75
The phenomenal capstone of Rowling's masterpiece, the Harry Potter series. her dialogue and imagery are involving and sustainable, her characters Very well developed. Read them in order!
The Da Vinci CodeThe Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
Buy new: $16.47 / Used from: $0.01
Excellent craft here; the entire novel covers approximately 24 hours, and it's quite the whirlwind. I don't endorse the "heresy" of it, as Brown himself asks that all understand: it's fiction.

Ender's Game Boxed Set: Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the HegemonEnder's Game Boxed Set: Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card
Buy new: $15.62 / Used from: $14.45
I've not yet read Shadow, but the other two were riveting; you feel the weight on Ender's shoulders, you fall into the room with him as he reluctantly leads his soldiers to victory. Amazing.
