Robert Rankin - The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse
Ok, so it's a murder mystery if you strip it down to it's nuts and bolts but it's set in Toy City and the 'people' croaking it are major nursery rhyme characters. But don't worry, it's rather adult (Note a teddy bear with a drinking problem as the second lead character)
I don't really read a lot but I read this book in a week in an 'un-put-downable' manner and I can;t wait until the sequel comes out in paperback.

Jade Goody's autobiography. I laughed whilst I was reading it, my hubby thought that I was mad. You go through all sorts of emotions while reading the book as you realise what a terrible life she has had but obviously come through it all laughing and being dim. Definitely worth a read. Although parts of it are serious, most of the book is lighthearted, some of the words she uses is hilarious. (ie. when talking about her la-la) and experiences with men when she was younger. Ha ha, laughing again just thinking about it!

Any of the "Flashman Chronicles" by George McDonald Fraser.
This would be the Flashman from "Tom Browns Schooldays"
A great read.
Flashman,s a true hero!
