An immoral thing with moral reasons

if these people wrote it, it's good on every level clive barker, richard dawkins, terry pratchett, thomas hardy, neil gaiman, alan moore, durante alighieri, jasper fforde, douglas adams, chuck palahniuk, christopher moore, matthew pearl, the bronte sisters, mr. shakespeare, oscar wilde, edgar allen poe, george saunders, haruki murakami, ha jin, neil stephenson, alex garland, gore vidal. johann wolfgang von goethe, etc. if these people wrote it it's entertaining and possibly gross, which is good enough, kelley armstrong, karin slaughter, pj tracy, mo hayder, michael crichton, john grisham (and his writing is getting better and better, he probably deserves to be in the former category at this point), kathy reichs, thomas harris, craig russel, stephen king (say what you will, but some books, like the talisman are really awesome, brilliantly drawn characters, an amazing alternate world, lots of terror and fear and sorrow, so yeah) other books I love, but whose authors I can't fully endorse, Lucy, The Lovely Bones, Making Silent Stones Speak, Sophie's World, Cunt
