Holiday Books, by snowflake8888 on Aug 6, 2008 13:11:22 GMT 1, For something different, try the translated text of Battle Royale by Koushin Takami.
For something metaphysical yet happy, the Complete Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Strange_&_Mr_Norrell
It's fantasy though so may not be up everyone's street.
Would agree with Perfume and A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Sticking on a Russian theme Crime and Punishment (Dostoyevsky), The Master and Margarita (Mikhail Bulgakov) and We (Yevgeny Zamyatin) are all quality reads.
