I'm reading Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. It's pretty mad and very enjoyable. Reminds me a little of Gormenghast in that the city/castle is a character in itself. I had a search to see if anybody had mentioned this book here and Dr Rick has read it. From his post I discovered that it was on the 2002 Hugo shortlist, pipped by American Gods.
I've not long finished Perdido Street Station, thoroughly enjoyed it. Great imagination and story but didn't quite expand on a couple of the characters like I thought it would (such as the mayor for instance). Will be trying The Scar at some point as well.
Currently reading Until they are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie. Really enjoyed the first one and this one is just as good.
