And yep, I liked <i>The Steep Approach to Garbadale</i> too. Vicki: thanks for the tip. I'll give them a go.

I can't quite remember why now - something to do with all the contemporary references, perhaps. I don't know if you've read <i>The Steep Approach to Garbadale</i> - I thought that was pretty enjoyable. I’ll be the dissenting voice and say that I thought Dead Air disappointing.

Raw and Running with Scissors are my two favorites. Based on some of the other books you liked, you might give him a try. Very biting, witty, black humor.
