Just watched the Machinist last night and i really enjoyed it, the plot is great and the twist at the end is amazing, i had no idea what was coming most of the way through.

Fidel Fanst:
The A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin is very good. So's the Belgariad and Malloreon by Davind Eddings. GO READ THEM NOW!

Paav:
I second the Eddings recommendation. Both those series are a lot of fun. Each series is five books but the pacing keeps up the action. There are lots of characters and they are very distiinct. I enjoy watching them grow and change through out the story.

Also I'd like to recommend the Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall. It's a book about memories and words and concepts and how all of these intersect to create who a person is and the world they inhabit.

Even if you're not at all interested in the art of Origami as a hobby, check out the book Folding the Universe: Origami from Angelfish to Zen by Peter Engel, if your local library has it.The introduction is a great study of the philosophy and Art behind Origami. It lead me to a lot of pleasing realizations about various types of art and the relationship between things.

AsteriskEnye3:
Dexter, a series on Showtime, is probably one of the most interesting and original shows I've ever seen. The basic premise is this: Dexter Morgan is a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami PD, has a sister on the force, and has a girlfriend. He's also a serial killer, whose prey consists of fellow killers, those who have done it, maybe multiple times, and are likely to do it again. These methods were taught to him by his adoptive father, also an officer in the Miami PD. While it sounds like a cheesy vigilante justice thriller on paper, it is clear that Dexter's "code" is ingrained from his father's training, and not a personal preference. As much as it seems like his victims deserve their fate, you still have to remember who is finishing them off. And that's why Dexter is so damned good.
There's also a shit-ton of black humor relating to killing people. So you have to have a stomach for that, too.
If you don't have Showtime, just go on iTunes and buy an episode every once in a while. They're close to an hour solid apiece, which makes them a lot more cost-efficient as, say, an Office episode.
