I've read Dead Famous too, I really liked it.

I started reading another one of his books, but I just couldn't get into it. Didn't make much of an impression on me, I don't even remember what it was called...

I've read High Society and I really liked it! I agree what was said about it - thought provoking and funny, especially how he wrote the swearing (as in, I could actually imagine it being said).

Inconveiable is so so so so so funny!!

If you like Ben Elton, I recommend anything by Sue Townsend -- in particular, the Secret Diaries of Adrian Mole -- they are VERY british, but funny all the same.

ive been reading high society in my free periods at school all year (how very unproductive of me)..but truly i only did it when i had no work ... hehee
but now that ive finished i cant read any more and ive only got like 1/4 left and its annoying the crap out of me coz i dont have a normal library card and i have no money to buy it
so ill have to leave it for a while... grr
