The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
Filth by Irvine Welsh (who also wrote Trainspotting, as well as The Acid House, Marabou Stork Nightmares and Ecstasy, all of which are also brilliant)
And the Ass Saw the Angel by Nick Cave (yes, the singer, I am also a huge fan of his music)
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
A Simple Plan by Scott Smith
I also enjoy anything by Iain (M.) Banks and when I'm in a more studious mood I love Friedrich Nietzsche, Charles Dickens or Milton's Paradise Lost.
Rotten.com is hilarious, but I don't really think its authors expect anyone to take it that seriously! Lets face it, the only reason a website like that exists is due to the fact that a lot of us derive some sort of guilty pleasure out of looking at gross stuff, I personally just treat the whole thing as a sick (but funny) joke.
As for the Mongrel Mob, I agree with Ozbash that they are some of the lowest scum in existence. I grew up in a small, predominatly Maori town where the Mob had a chapter, and they are a bunch of callous, violent, concience-lessthugs. Unlike some other gangs they have absolutely no agenda or affiliation (such as motorbikes, white power/black power etc)they exist solelyto commit crime and cause violence.
