Everything Is Illuminated - Jonathan Safran Foer

Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer

This came highly recommended by my friend, Luke -- he says it is his favorite book ever ...

And I can see why. Alternately hysterical and heavy, it is half narrated (in thesaurus-ized broken English) in letter format and half novel about a pre-WWII village. It starts out funny and quirky and ends up being thoughtful and ... well, a little depressing. Very creative.
