I like cruel/sarcastic type books mainly. And they have to be witty.
Here are some I like....so I don't need to know about the below authors as I have explored all avenues.
All Michel Houllebecq books
Some Hope by Edward St Aubyn
Mothers Milk by Edward St Aubyn
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis
Most if not all Eveyln Waugh books

All famous. All good writers. Don't discriminate about the fact that they are science fiction writers. Cheers.

Try Iain Banks. Start with the Wasp Factory, black comedy at it's very blackest.
He does write Sci/Fi, but those books are published under Iain M. Banks. So you can dodge them if you want although they too are incredibly dark and humorous.
Or why not give Joseph Heller a go, Catch 22 is a riot.

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Witty, cruel, mostly funny and pathetic, but all relatable stories.

By all means check out Chrisopher Moore. He is very sarcastic and witty. His new vampire book You Suck is hilarious. Also try Carl Hiaasen. I loved all of his books but especially Lucky Me. Pax - C.
