I really haven't been inspired by what I'm reading recently. I did enjoy Jasper Fforde's One of Our Thursdays is Missing, heavy on the laughs and the world building, but very light on plot, but I just wanted something with more substance. I've gone old school and dug out Robert Silverberg's Lord Valentine's Castle. I last read this a long time ago, but even just starting it again it has the promise of something that is so damned good.
