Want to try something a bit different? Like magical realism and weird fiction? I've got just the book for you, Karin Tidbeck's Jagannath. It's a collection of short stories with a distinct nordic flavour. (Tidbeck is Swedish.) Some of the translations aren't as smooth as they could be, but it doesn't matter: the stories are so fascinating and weird and fresh that you enjoy them anyway.

Intrigued? Here's a link to amazon. Looks like the kindle edition's only 3.71 dollars now, so quite a bargain.
