I finished "Gone Girl" and watched the movie the exact same day that I read the last page. The film is better, at least for me it was.
Before that, I read Jhumpa Lahiri's "The Lowland". She is one of my absolute favorite authors; she uses such vivid detail that I always feel like I'm actually in India when I read her books. She also wrote "The Namesake".
I love dark, dramatic, near-depressing fiction ("The Road", "A Thousand Splendid Suns", "The Poisonwood Bible"), so I'm open to recommendations.
