Hi Raven,
My suggestion is Tim Dorsey. He writes hilarious crime stories that include very colorful characters. I know you didn't mention this genre as your typical read, but i still think you would love his work.
I am constantly awaiting his newest release..
Very well worth the read and if you decide to give him a shot try
Florida Roadkill first- then Hammerhead Ranch Motel.
