I’m still hip-deep in the Warhammer 40k books (just picked up my 47th), so if you like excellent pulp, then get this. Still say the initial three books of the Horus Heresy feature some of the most personal drama I’ve seen in a dog’s age.[/quote]

I have always liked most anything by Eric Van Lustbader, especially the Sunset Warrior Trilogy.
Anything by chuck palahniuk. Serious,the greatest author of our generation. Heres a nice little selection from the short “Guts”

One minute, I’m settling on the pool bottom, and the sky is wavy, light blue through eight feet of water above my head. The world is silent except for the heartbeat in my ears. My yellow-striped swim trunks are looped around my neck for safe keeping, just in case a friend, a neighbor, anybody shows up to ask why I skipped football practice. The steady suck of the pool inlet hole is lapping at me and I’m grinding my skinny white ass around on that feeling. One minute, I’ve got enough air, and my dick’s in my hand. My folks are gone at their work and my sister’s got ballet. Nobody’s supposed to be home for hours. My hand brings me right to getting off, and I stop. I swim up to catch another big breath. I dive down and settle on the bottom. I do this again and again. This must be why girls want to sit on your face. The suction is like taking a dump that never ends. My dick hard and getting my butt eaten out, I do not need air. My heartbeat in my ears, I stay under until bright stars of light start worming around in my eyes. My legs straight out, the back of each knee rubbed raw against the concrete bottom. My toes are turning blue, my toes and fingers wrinkled from being so long in the water. And then I let it happen. The big white gobs start spouting. The pearls. It’s then I need some air. But when I go to kick off against the bottom, I can’t. I can’t get my feet under me. My ass is stuck. Emergency paramedics will tell you that every year about 150 people get stuck this way, sucked by a circulation pump. Get your long hair caught, or your ass, and you’re going to drown. Every year, tons of people do. Most of them in Florida.

that was a weird story … I’m in the middle of his new book “Pygmy” (kind of on hiatus from it … focusing on school at the moment) but it’s an ok book … I wouldn’t call him the best of our generation by any means … but he is very imaginative and I like his stories
