With respect to fiction, my taste is pretty eclectic, though I am not usually a fan of stuff that is too high-fallutin. In other words, no Umberto Eco, Toni Morrison, Thomas Pynchon, or Mickey Spillane.

I am currently reading A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby (who wrote High Fidelity) and am liking it quite a bit.
I recently read The Good Life by Jay McInnerney and loved loved loved it.
I also read recently Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis. It was his most fucked up book yet (and that's saying something after Glamorama).
I also read Middlesex, which was recommended by Sidd. I found it very difficult to get into, but enjoyed it once I did.
