I posted my strictly mystery faves on the thread reda suggested above. (still think you're awesome reda for pming me your list of how many fakes to expect at x or Y level, lol!)
not-so-much mystery books I love (recently) are:
Dave Eggers, 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius'
Anne Marie MacDonald 'Fall on Your Knees'
Stephen Marche 'Raymond and Hannah' (He's a friend but I'd recommend it even if he wasn't)
Currently reading Everything is Illuminated by Jonathon Safran Foer and liking it, and White Teeth is next on my to do list Coda.
