Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro - really good but really sad book. Wont give away the twist, but worth reading.

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore - another silly absurdist romp by Mr. Moore. Apparently there are many death merchants who pick up the souls of the departed. One man stumbles into his destiny with out much help and keeps stumbing throughout the book. Silly supernatural and just plain wacky.
