Non-linear storytelling. One-page biographies of every passenger on a London Underground train, which unexpectedly turns out to actually have a plot threaded throughout. Perfect commuting novel.

Going Postal by Stephan Jaramillo
The American dream. One scewed up slacker loses his McJob and his girlfriend whilst trying desperately not to obssess over postal worker shooting sprees. Contains the single finest gonzo description of a night out on the town I have ever read.

The Fuck Up by Arthur Nersesian
The American dream again, in eighties New York. Man loses job, girl, home, money, dignity etc. Even gets fired from working as a jizz mopper in a gay porn cinema. Redemption isn’t on the cards here.

Well that's 3 books for taking on holiday sorted.
