If you're an SF man, take a look for the reissued SF classics series in Hodges Figgis - loads of brilliant books, particularly 'This Is The Way The World Ends', or 'Wasp'.

If you haven't read them the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons is amazing.

Aye, Iain M. Banks is a good recommendation.
Iain Banks (same guy, not sci-fi) is also worth reading.

Or you could try "No Logo" by Naomi Klein. A worthwhile read that gets the blood up.

Or anything by Gore Vidal: "Live from Golgotha" makes a good start.

danka, I'll try them out.

Gene Wolfe - The Book of the New Sun:

4 books in this sci-fi series and this guy is a master of the english language. Highly enjoyable.

Why Angels Fall - Victoria Clark:
A journalists explortion of Orthadox Europe from Byzantium to modern Eastern Europe. Highly informative, well written and researched and a real eye opener on another huge world (a weord one) we know very little about in the west.

Urban Prey / The Cruxification Squad:
2 Dark future books by Peter Berre, about Mafia, WWIII, the IRA and the break down of society in London and the west. Very depressing, needs a strong stomach and is hilarious (really).

Or any of the Culture novels by Iain M Banks, Start with 'The Player of Games', one of the finest books I'v ever read !
