Ok, I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks in a month or so and my shelf is bare so I need a shopping list for a big trip to Borders (or possibly Amazon). The only things I can remember that have been recommended to me recently are Light by M. John Harrison and The Scar by China Mieville. So, recommend me stuff. It doesn't have to be genre. It doesn't have to be novels. It does have to be available in paperback in the UK. Stuff by authors I haven't read yet particularly welcome (although most of you probably don't know what I've already read so that's not particularly helpful :) ).

Last book I read was Broken Angels by Richard Morgan. Some good, stylish fun. Possibly better to start with Altered Carbon, which is noir SF versus BA's more military spin. Morgan plays around with downloadable consciousness, cool weapons and ultraviolence.
