Read: Terry Pratchett (Discworld)
Grant Naylor (Red Dwarf series)
Mick Foley (Tietam Brown, and Two Autobiographys (Sp? Sorry bad day for writting)
Spike Milligan (Almost everything that he has touched pen to paper by his brain)

Only four, I don't read much.

There are more, but their names escape me for some reason, mainly due to the fact that the books are in the loft.
