"White Noise"
by: Don Delillo

Possibly one of THE best contemporary novels ever, I'll go as far as to say. Not to be mistaken with The Living End's latest single/album or that film with Michael Keaton innit. Published in the 80s, but a lot of the issues still apply today. Eloquently written and depending on your taste it may or may not be slow in the first but it moves on to much greatness.
