Loved Lilita and Pale Fire by Nabokov, although it's years since I read them.
Currently: The Busconductor Hines - James Kelman. 60p in a charity shop on Saturday, and one of the few of his I've not read. I started with A Disaffection and A Chancer in the 80s, although I didn't much like How Late It Was, How Late, which won him the Booker Prize. His short stories are usually great too.

I recently picked up a copy of "The Official Punk Rock Book Of Lists" by Amy Wallace and Dictator's lead singer Handsome Dick Manitoba. Not exactly high-concept stuff, but certainly entertaining!

The Angela Bowie book on David Bowie. I forget the title. Not really worth remembering. Pretty trashy but probably true.

I'm reading a Cheech and Chong autobiography by Tommy Chong himself. I'm half way through it and love it. It's so funny and a great read. ;D
