If you fancy a bit of a surreal read try anything by Jasper Ffordes. He writes fantasy about the BookWorld and what the characters get up to when they aren;t being observed by a reader. I can't remember the order of the books but i think the first pone might be the Erye Affair.
Failing that Christopher Brookmyres has some good books out at the moment (especially All Fun And Games Until Somebody loses An Eye).
Thriller - the new Jeffrey Deaver book is quite good.
Psychological thriller - try Stephen King's "Gerald's Game"
For a light hearted read try either Gervase Phinn who writes about life as a schools inspector in the Yorkshire Dales. Or I have to reccommend one of the best authors I have ever read Deric Longden. He lives a couple of miles away from me and writes about life in huddersfield and keeping cats with his blind wife. Try either "The Cat Who Came In From the Cold" or "I'm A Stranger Here Myself" I would defy anyone to read them and not suddenly swap from laughing hysterically as Thermal finds a friendly raisin called ralph to crying your eytes out when Frink slips away
Q. Will i get a reduction in my tax bill for calling the VAT inspector gorgeous??
