I will certainly look into Brookmyre and I couldn't agree with you more about both Steinbeck and Hiaasen. My favorites by each are Travels with Charley and Nature Girl. I have performed in college and community productions of Of Mice and Men.

Ah, OK, wasn't aware I was challenging Smashwords house style with my personal preferences. Just goes to show that you can't please all of the people all of the time

I think that The Grapes of Wrath is probably the best novel I have ever read, although if you want something a bit more light-hearted then I'd nominate Cannery Row or Tortilla Flat. Sick Puppy or Lucky You were probably my favourite Hiaasen reads.
