Oh I've been wanting to read Palahniuk (how do you pronounce that anyway) for ages now. Have you read Fight Club? I've heard it's very very similar to the movie (which I also loved).
And I love Murakami - big magic realism fan every since dipping into it with Midnight's Children (more Rushdie!). Never read any Aimee Bender though. Will have to look that one up.
I've also been really tempted to get into some graphic novels this summer too. So maybe now I have a place to start
