If you like short stories / novellas try Everything Ravaged Everything Burned by US writer Wells Tower - apparently he's the next big thing in the US but the work justifies the plaudits admirably.

A Good Book For My Holiday, by mred on May 27, 2009 18:57:12 GMT 1, I would second menace2sobriety's recommendation. The Sewerside Chronicles is a cracking read and illustrations by Mau Mau - see www.sewersidechronicles.com/ - also see if you spot reference to Banksy
That said you might need to take a second book as you will probably find it hard to put down and so it might not last long :-)
