How not to run a club by Peter Hook (thought 24 hour party people by Tony Wilson was a much better read to be honest with you)
Before that, Harlan Coben - just one look. Thought that was pretty garbage and I've read quite a few of his, so God knows what happened there
I've just ordered 1984 and Animal Farm off Amazon as fancied a change and remember reading them at school many, many years ago.
