Perfume (Suskind) is a very fine book in my view - far better than you might be led to believe by the publicity. The film was pretty good too (unusuall).
My latest purchases are:
Nicholson Baker: Human Smoke
Asne Seierstad: The Angel of Grozny, Inside Cheyna
Stefan Zweig: Fantastic Night and other short stories
Oh yes, I've just subscribed to the re-launched Granta after a couple of years break - it looks really good.
