I actually got to reading this because Pamuk just joined the faculty of my MFA program. So far he taught a seminar/lecture that focused (unfortunately) on Thomas Mann's "Tonio Kroger." He's a terrifyingly smart guy.

Orhan Pamuk - "My Name is Red"

Best book I've read in years. Such great storytelling, with a certain Borgesian quality and richness of ideas. If you don't know, he's a Turkish author who won the Nobel prize in literature in 2006.
