I didn't see it on the thread, so sorry if somebody posted it already. My favorite book is Hunter Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".
I love Johnny Depp, but that movie was a travesty. If you saw the movie and you didn't read the book, than you've never experience F&LiLV. It's only about 150 pages. I'm not a fast reader, but I finished it in one sitting. It was just too damn funny to put down.
Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman is a very synical but equally hilarious collection of essays he's written about pop culture and human idiocy. Something I would write myself if I had his writing ability. I actually have read some of the chapters of this book to other people and they were rolling.

the Chamber by John Grisham - possibly by favourite authour - tied with Trudi Canavan. I just finished the first book in her 'Age of the Five' trilogy. very good, though the 'The Black Magician' trilogy is much better.

I've been reading Death of a Stranger by Anne Perry. I've only bit into it, but it's interesting so far.

Not sure if anyone has said this one, but one of my favorite series are Douglass Adams' books. They're pretty hilarious, although very random.
And another good series is the Black Magician trilogy by Trudi Canavan.

I've been reading Dante's "Comedia #1 - Inferno". Pretty heavy going, but very interesting. Well, I've also been dipping in and out of a Viking history book. Fun fun fun, as they say.

Yeah, Cery was one of my favorites too. He was way better than Akarrin...
I think it's those disreputalbe theiving types who are just more fun characters!
