Over vacation, I read the Prince of Nothing trilogy by R. Scott Bakker. Meh. It was OK, but didn't knock my socks off.
As is evident from my other lame book reviews, I'm a very shallow reader. I pay attention to the dialogue and plot, but most literary subtext sails right over my head. One of the main characters is sort of kung-fu jesus, and manipulates the others by his philosophical ramblings. I don't have the patience to read and re-read his dialogue to parse the ultimate meaning.
If I want Kung Fu Jesus, I'll re-read Lamb by Christopher Moore.

Stick with the classics. They'll never leave you wanting. Have you read The Man in the Hgh Castle? I just finished that one last week. 'Tis good stuff.
