Bret Easton Ellis?
No - not really, sorry.
Seriously, how about anything by P. G. Wodehouse? Tremendously funny, gentle comedy with nary a swearword or sex scene in sight.
If you are in America P. G. Wodehouse may be a bit 'English' for you (although he wrote several set in America now that I think about it). The good news is that there are several of his books available here on MobileRead for free, so you can take a look without spending any of your hard-earned.
EDIT: Missed the 'newer' qualifier - sorry. I'd still check them out though.
