Are you adverse to modern takes on old genres? If you want a smart read, good sci-fi/fantasy chops and a fucking great belly laugh, I can suggest Jasper Fforde. The Erye Affair, about a fiction jumping agent bent on apprehending a heinous foe who kidnaps the main character of a classic novel, or Shades of Grey (not the mommy porn 50 shades), a future dystopia ruled by a colourtocracy where not having your tie in the appropriate Windsor knot or wearing non regulation socks could see you sent to 'reboot camp'. A place where due to a typo in the religious texts spoons are banned from manufacture by law.
have you seen a movie called "Man in the Moon"? with reese, her first movie i think!
