Katharine Kerr - start with Daggerspell. If you like that, I'll give you the titles to the rest of the series in order.

I read the cliff's notes of that for english last year.

so, fear and loathing in las vegas SUCKED, like incredibly bad. In fact, I'm impressed with myself for even finishing it. Now I cannot find any english books, so I've got a handy french\english dictionary by my side and I've started on my roommates bookshelves.

Ahh I found an excellent bookstore while in vancouver. I seem to be blowing through books recently so it was good.
I finished the King of Torts and Velocity on my plane trips. Both were sort of cheesy page turners.
I got Invisible Monsters from Palahniuk and Bagombo Snuff Box from Vonnegut and that Anthony Kiedis book too.
I also plan on rereading the hitchikers series.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
