The Prestige, by Christopher Priest
This one was really fun to read. We saw the movie a few weeks ago, and its fascinating how they conflated characters and shifted events. The book is framed with a contemporary setting, which was really cool, but would have made the movie unwieldy, I think, so they were right to excise that. It's a whole bunch of twists inside of twists and kept me highly engaged, and reading at odd times to try to finish as soon as possible. Always a good sign in a book.
