I'm currently addicted to Huraki Murakami's novel, Kafka on the Shore... If you've ever read anything by Murakami (Japanese author), you, like me, will have come to expect the unexpected.  Fish fall from the sky, people talk to cats, ghosts and illusionary characters interact together, and you're never quite sure what's real and what is surreal.  I think that's why I love Murakami, there's enough reality in the everyday to allow a little fantasy to creep in...
