Haven't read many at all. Life of Pi By Martel was enjoyable, as was True History of the Kelly Gang by Carey and Norwegian Wood by Murakami.
Life of Pi and The Brothers K are the only novels I've finished that have been published since 2000. They were both decent novels.

I read the life of Pi but i wasn't that fussed on it. The only really good post 2000 book i've read would be the road by cormac mccarthy
At first it seems like I haven't read many but when I think about it, there is more then I would have thought.
Middlesex
Water for Elepahnts
The Birth of Venus
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Recursion by Tony Ballantyne
Fitzpatrick's War by Theodore Judson
Both were books I randomly picked off the shelf because they looked good.
I liked The Kite Runner and Thousand Splendid Suns by Khalid Houssini. Can't remember any others maybe The Davinci Code lol?
I've read the Potter books and Life of Pi, but I mostly go for the classical stuff or non-fiction.

I loved both of those books and I also loved The Road. I am sure there are others but I can not remember them at the moment.
We are to busy getting ready for the running of the Melbourne Cup hopefully this year I will win![]()
I read Life of Pi but really couldn't get into it at all =/ I still have it though, so I should re-try perhaps?
I agree the Road is good, if you want something lighter/less literary I suppose, No country For Old Men was also quite good and very quick.
