Special Topics in Calamity Physics

Today I finished (after obsessing over it for about 4 days straight) the book Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl. I can't tell you how long it's been that I've read a new release -- and this a first novel, no less -- that was as engaging and absorbing as this book was. The character development was excellent, the writing was superb, it was funny and smart. And kind of noirish. Very, very good. If you have time, you should definitely check it out!
