George RR Martin, I think I bugged you about this before... it's not so much fantasy as a an epic viable world with tons of sympathetic villians and plot twists. Also, it's long...
I recently really enjoyed "Devil Wears Prada" and "Nanny Diaries", but I think that's just an indication that my brain has turned into mush. "Other Bolelyn Girl" and all the other historical fiction from Phillipa Gregory is also fun. "Kite Runner" is teh sad. "Middlesex" is cool, if you haven't read it, and it's set in Detroit.
Comics: Runaways and Y: The Last Man. But I think you're reading those already?
And see the HBO series "Rome" if you havent. Also "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" -- I know you said books, but... both of these shows are a ton of fun.
