The Book of Dave: A Revelation of the Recent Past and the Distant Future
1.  The Book of Dave: A Revelation of the Recent Past and the Distant Future by Will Self
The list author says:
  "A satirical tour de force. An ambitious Gormenghast-like fable shuttling between the dystopian present and the dystopian future. Breathtaking plot, vital characters and an outstanding use of language."

How the Dead Live
2.  How the Dead Live by Will Self
The list author says:
  "A hilarious extension of Self's early short story. The acidic narrator spits quintessential Self bile while a parade of doomed addicts bring Self's mordant afterlife to life. Hookier than heroin."
£6.74   Used & New from: £2.91

Dorian
3.  Dorian by Will Self
The list author says:
  "Self's Oscar Wilde imitation is an affectionate homage to the shocking brilliance of the original Dorian. Self warps Wilde's decadent vision into a clever comedy and dark study of AIDS and addiction."

The Butt
6.  The Butt by Will Self
The list author says:
  "This recent work is lighter fare for Self, but is a hilarious look at an Antipodean bureaucratic nightmare. Highly readable and finely honed. Shame about the ending."

Cock and Bull
7.  Cock and Bull by Will Self

My Idea of Fun
9.  My Idea of Fun by Will Self
The list author says:
  "His debut novel is a brilliant account of an eidetic man finding his way through the fragmented oddity of his mind. A thought-provoking (and somewhat lighter) book from Self."
Used & New from: £0.01

The Quantity Theory of Insanity
12.  The Quantity Theory of Insanity by Will Self
