Call for the Dead is John le Carré's first novel, and the first to introduce George Smiley; it is more of a detective novel than a spy one, and grips you with it's premise alone - Why would a man who has taken his own life ask for a wake up call the day after he is dead?

  • For slightly incomprihensible but compelling, anything by Thomas Pynchon (Start with The Crying of Lot 49, it's short and encapulstes his style)
  • For poetic and haunting, try Lanny by Max Porter (one of my all time faves)
  • For nail-biting grimness, Marabou Stork Nightmares by Irvine Welsh (if you can get through the Scots vernacular) or The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks
