    'Superchick' then 'Rock and a Hard Place' Both by Stephen J Martin - highly recommended (the third in the series 'Ride On' not as good as the first 2 but worth a read anyway)

    If you like Dublin books James Larkin might appeal to you. "Strumpett City" is about the 1913 lockout,told through the eyes of characters from very different backgrounds. I found it very moving,funny in places and still read it now and again. It's a long read so maybe his short stories might suit better,there's a collection called "The Eagles and Trumpets". Chuck Palhunik (spelling?) is pretty dark but very humourous. He's the man behind "Fight Club". His books "Survivor" and "Choke" made me laugh,but I'm a strange 'un. I could go on and on but I reckon you'll find your own favourites. Keep us informed about what you find,could always use a few suggestions myself!
