What I've read lately:
Teju Cole - Open city (very good).
Hilary Mantel - Bring up the bodies (ILOVEYOUHILARYMANTEL).
"You can be merry with the king, you can share a joke with him. But as Thomas More used to say, it's like sporting with a tamed lion. You tousle its mane and pull its ears, but all the time you're thinking, those claws, those claws, those claws."
- Bring up the bodies, Hilary Mantel
