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

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

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.

Re: What books would you reccomend?
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

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 If I remember rightly, drink and drugs were familiar demons.
