novels written in omniscient POV?

Does anyone have any favourite recent novels written in omni POV? I'd like to study them to see how it's done. THanks.

Does The Children of Hurin count?

Moon Daughter · May 20, 2007

Hmmm...Seven Deadly Sins.

Arunditha Roy.....The God of Small Things.
I hope recent means the last ten years.

Oh, that novel is so beautiful and horrible (in a good way).

Now, I could be totally wrong w/ this, but I think His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pulman is omni, ne? Well, it's a great read nonetheless ^_^

Ulysses, To the Lighthouse, Dune, and many more.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will check them out.
I guess by recent I'm thinking about the last 20 years.

Watership Down. Also, I'm pretty certain the Discworld books are in omni pov.

I've been wondering--is it possible to do a cozy mystery in omni? Or would you have to tap into the villain's thoughts by default?
