I'm looking for a book recommendation (or two or three) from YOU!

I got a nice sized gift certificate to Border's from my brother's family and am looking for a way to spend it. Anyone have any good book recommendations for a guy who likes:

• David Foster Wallace
• Will Self
• Aimee Bender
• Rick Moody
• Thomas Frank
• John Hodgman
• modern sociology-type tomes
• short story collections
• books on modern music a.k.a. rock and/or roll
• and graphic novels?
