The City & The City by China Miéville
I started reading it that same day, on the way home, and I couldn't put it down. While I don't have much time for pleasure reading, I stole time and even pulled a couple of late nights on Friday and Saturday to find out where Miéville was taking me.
I'll refrain from delving too much into the premise of the book, because I think part of the pleasure was the journey Miéville takes the reader on. If you'd like a well written review, head over to The Mumpsimus. I will tell you however, that it is a contemporary fantasy / murder / mystery, and at the end, you'll probably have more answers than questions -- which a good book is supposed to leave you with.
