Any other readers of fiction out there?
I'm always on the hunt for new authors with the late Iain Banks being my favourite - closely followed by Irvine Welsh. (No, i'm not scottish).
Iain Banks final book The Quarry I really enjoyed.
Irvine's last book, A Decent Ride, I found amusing but a little disappointing although his previous The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins was classic.
I'm currently reading DBC Pierre's Lights Out In Wonderland. Manic fun.
I gave up on Thomas Pynchon's Bleeding Edge as (like Inherent Vice, the movie) I just couldn't keep track of what the fuck was going on - too many characters perhaps for my tiny mind to cope with.
Anyway, I would love to hear what others are enjoying or have abandoned.
