Kazuo Ishiguro, An artist of the floating world. this is a serious deep book not to be picked up lightly but to be picked up no matter what. Ill give you a quote from the review in the sunday times ''A work of elegance: refined understated economic.'' It won some award I forget what.

for Jabidas for mentioning Kazuo Ishiguro!!! He is brilliant! (he wrote The Remains of the Day, as a matter of fact, which will ring a bell for most of you). I think you're referring to the Booker Prize, which he received for that novel in 1989.
To name another Booker Prize winner, Read A.S. Byatt....trust me, she won't disappoint you! Start with something short and sweet such as Angels & Insects, proceed with the stunner Possession, and Babel Tower will really blow your socks off
Also great fun to read: Iain Banks and Will Self for being so incredibly brilliant and tantalisingly weird
I could recommend so many more....but I'll leave it at this for now
