OK, to be more accurate, Book of the Millennium So Far... what's your favourite book written in the 2000's?

My vote goes to "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" by Mark Haddon. Superb characterisation, ingenious plot, and above all unique. Read it now!

I'm reading a flawed masterpiece, Pynter Bender, the first novel by Grenadian writer Jacob Ross. It's out this month. Magical writing that brings to life a mountain village in the Caribbean. The story of a young boy, born blind, who is given the gift of sight is also the story of an emerging nation. And the flaw? It sets the bar too damn high for the rest of us...

Ther must be hundreds! 1000 Splendid Suns, Brick Lane, A Spot of Bother...
