Dianetics.
I've hated Scientology for a while now, and now I have a reason.
What a painful book,
"Chapter 1, Something is wrong with you, and Dianetics can help."
"Chapter 2, Something is wrong with you, and Dianetics is the only thing that can help."
"Chapter 3, Dianetics will fix you."
"Chapter 4, L. Ron Hubbard Was Great!"
Etc. Etc. I've never read a book that talks about itself in such a way in my life. All this book says is how great it is, and how you should run out and get audited.

Is Locke Lamora any good?
I'm finishing 2nd book of the blade itself/before they were hanged and its pretty awesome, dark and hilarious at the same time (reminded me of bugg/tehol parts of malazan books)
Before that Peter Hamilton the dreaming void, but you got to read the 1st 2 books in the series first.

Locke Lamora is a lot like Ice and Fire, but not quite as interesting. Its no where near as complex, but the writing is very good and very imaginitive, and theres a lot of original stuff. The setting feels like the Imperial City of Cyrodill in Elder Scrolls IV to me. Its like if GRRM had scripted Oblivion. I dunno, I'm 250 pages in, and it's pretty good. Not my favorite, but it's certainly a big change from the Wheel of Time.
