All Fry's novels are great. Making History is the one I recommend most often, as it's funny but also makes a thoughtful point. Or you could start with the first one, The Liar, and read them in order. Revenge/The Stars' Tennis Balls is a deliciously gory retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo; lots of fun.

Paperweight is a collection of short radio and journalism pieces, Moab is my Washpot is autobiography, and The Ode Less Travelled is a guide to writing poetry... so, obviously, if you're looking for fiction, don't read one of those.
