Based purely on your screen name, I'd say some Irvine Walsh.
Trainspotting, Porno, Acid House, or Glue are all pretty good once you get past the dialect.

It depends on what you enjoy reading.
For realistic fiction and great writing on touchy subjects, try My Sister's Keeper, Nineteen Minutes or The Pact by Jodi Picoult.
My Sister's Keeper, for example, is about a 13 year old girl who was conceived because her seriously ill sister needed a genetic match to give her donations that would keep her alive. Now, at 13 years old, the girl is suing her parents, saying she wants medical emancipation. But if she does this, her sister would die.
Nineteen Minutes is about a school shooter. It's a very interesting story.
For suspense, I would recommend anything by Dean Koontz or James Patterson.

Robin McKinley writes wonderful books about heroines who literally KICK BUTT. She sets them in fantasy or fairytales and they definitely outshine any Disney movie princess.
And if you like historical fiction, Ann Rinaldi writes about unknown heroines and sets them in times of historical conflict. Most of the time, she uses a female relative of a famous family or person and gives them a voice. And even if you're not interested in history, she's not lecturing a lesson. Actually very interesting.

Ender's Game - it's a great sci-fi book but more of a fiction. Trust me on this one...it'll be slow and confusing in the beginning but it's my favorite book to date (and that includes Harry Potter)

Well I know you like Stephen King so I suggest Dracula's Guest and other stories by Bram Stoker which are creepy and keep you guessing till the end, well some of the stories keep you guessing anyway.
