Just starting reading "Happiness" by Will Ferguson, and I have to say that so far it is excellent. I've laughed out loud on a number of times, and even kept reading it whilst on the bus, even though reading on the bus makes me want to vomit.
It took a couple of pages to get into the characters voice, but once I got there, it was great. It's odd though there are almost 'asides' to the reader though, as the character works as a copy editor at a publishers, things like:
May's door, as always, was not entirely open, but not entirely shut either. ("Ajar" his editor's parsimonious mind immediately chimed in, wanting to pare down that previous sentence to the starkest elements possible, editors being notoriously unsympatheticto rambling author asides)
Other top quotes:
Edwin de Valu had come face-to-face with the disturbing truth: Conan the Barbarian movies may not entirely reflect reality.
Whilst in a meeting his mind wanders:
"we'll have to roll up our sleeves and pull up our bootstraps and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah chihuahua's pen!s."
The basic story of the novel is based upon the self-help book, and what would happen if there was one that really worked?
I'm going to fly through this, because so far, it's great.

Sounds good.
I'm currently reading Killing Ground by Gerald Seymour. I have a confession to make, the book was suggested to me by my dad. I would never normally touch anything proferred by my father with a barge pole.
However, some books were needed for beach reading on my holiday, and funds blocked the path of purchasing my own and.... it's a bloody good book. Apparently the author used to be a reporter, although I never heard of him, so most of his books are based on events/people that's he's seen/interviewed,
This particular one is based on the mafia, and it's bloody excellent. Anyone wanting a damn good read shouls hunt it out.
