Death & the Penguin
Not trying to revive an old subject, but want to thank whoever recommended the above during the "This Book..." QOTW.

Truly one of the best books I've read for a long time... not life changing, but brilliant.

Adds to list
Was also having a look at The Master and Margerita by Mikhael Bulgakov if anyone has read this.

I would heartily recommend The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

@BK
The Master and Margherita (sp?) is absolutely fan-bloody-tastic. Heartily recommended.

@BobFossil
You really think so? First time I read it, I was disappointed - I thought I'd missed something. So a couple of years later, I tried again - and didn't manage even to finish it.

^Absolutely.
Adored it. It's like a twisted children's book in many ways, aimed at adults.
