Question for All You Readers

Has anyone ever read a really good book that was written in Present Tense (no, I do NOT mean "Present Day" or "In the Present")?

For example: "Susan trots down the stairs to the basement while humming an indistinct tune. She turns on the light and notices a strange, dark liquid seeping from under the door. Suddenly she is filed with dread and realizes that it is blood." That sort of thing.

I just have this idea that no good book could possibly be written in the present tense, and I would like to be proved wrong.
