I bought The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Have you ever seen the movie "Love Song for Bobby Long"? They reference The Heart is a Lonely Hunter throughout the movie, which made me want to read the book (haven't gotten around to it yet, though). Let me know if you liked it when you finished. I've never met anyone else who has read it.
The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Roughly halfway through.
Thomas Pynchon's latest, Inherent Vice. Druggy and dense and surprisingly full of plot.
