For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'd recommend for more modern -
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - humour+, a different viewpoint, cleverly constructed & written
Yellow Dog -Martin Amis - tough, real - not nice to read but mentally beneficial
The Stars Tennis Balls - Stephen Fry - clever/witty/dark humour
Dead Famous - Ben Elton - dark humour/spurious
One of the Nick Hornby books - people growing up
One of the Inspector Morse books- Colin Dexter - traditional setting/intellectual police whodunnits
Most books by Kingsley Amis/Graham Green/John Fowles - a bit older, I know
Absolutely anything by George Orwell/Conrad - obviously.
I generally prefer the classics mself, but these all bear up very well.
I am going through a second Steinbeck phase personally and I am reading some of his less well known books and they are all excellent - definitely the best American author so far (closely followed by Fitzgerald and James) & and only surpassed in the 20th century by Orwell.
