If you want to laugh and enjoy fantasy mixed with reality, the best book I've read this year is 'Fluke' by Christopher Moore. If you like a good English thriller that will keep you guessing try 'The Distant Echo' by Val McDermid. If you like a thriller that takes place in the country try 'Still Life With Crows' by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I love to read and could go on and on so if you need more just PM me.
