This is just the single best novel I've read all year. You're probably aware of the novel's plot, you probably know how much wit is packed into it. Just go out and get it. I've already got two copies; one in paperback with an introduction by Jeffrey Eugenides, and one in hardcover that I got in a Barnes and Noble Leatherbound Classics edition.
I really enjoyed that too.
The last two books I read were Rabbit, Run by John Updike and Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott and I'd highly recommend both. Flatland was interesting to read, particularly when the protagonist tries in vain to explain the two-dimensional world he lives in to the inhabitant of a one-dimensional world.
I'm currently reading The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe.
