The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nightime by Mark Somebody(!). Bought this for the kids then read it myself. Brilliantly written.

If you're into black comedy, try the Barney Thomson series:
The long midnight of Barney Thomson
The Cutting Edge of Barney Thomson
A prayer for Barney Thomson
Barney Thomson and the face of death
The king was in his counting house

Get them in that order :)

A fantastic book that. I rarely read novels anymore (I read too much for work), but I found this one an absolute gem!

'Mr Nice' by Howard Marks, a thoroughly intruiging read...

A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami

Check it here

Quote:
Synopsis
His life was like his recurring nightmare: a train to nowhere. But an ordinary life has a way of taking an extraordinary turn. Add a girl whose ears are so exquisite that, when uncovered, they improve sex a thousand-fold, a runaway friend, a right-wing politico, an ovine-obsessed professor and a manic-depressive in a sheep outfit, implicate them in a hunt for a sheep, that may or may not be running the world, and eth upshot is another singular masterpiece from Japan's finest novelist.
Its just mad... :tu:

Irvine Welsh is usually good. Early Stephen King - since his run in with the van, he's sort of lost the plot. That said, he never had a full grasp of the plot in the first place :D

How about a Delia Smith cookbook?

Well he hasn't responded to what his preference would be? ;) :D

Not to hand. He was walking down a road and this van mowed him down. Very nearly killed him. He was left lying in a field for ages. Ribs busted plus other injuries. He bought the van - has it in his garage. Like I said - losing it :D If I remember rightly, drink and drugs were familiar demons.
