Check out ANYTHING by Christopher Moore, but maybe start with Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, which is FREAKING HYSTERICAL. You WILL laugh out loud, especially if you have a Christian background.

Also by Christopher Moore:
Island of the Sequined Love Nun
A Dirty Job
The Stupidest Angel (which is a lovely Christmas story, the only one I know of in which Santa dies a horrible death, a small child drops the c-bomb, and a lonely man attempts to teach himself he doesn't want women by sending electric shocks through his nipples. I freaking LOVE Christopher Moore!!!!)
If you're an alternate history/sci-fi buff, I recommend the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik, starting with
His Majesty's Dragon. The 4th book in the series comes out on the 25th of this month, so you have time to read the rest!
eta: Thanks for the thread, by the way. I love reading new books... mayhaps I will be running to the store myself soon.
