I like the literary derail more than the OT, so I'm going to keep on keeping on.

Vargas Llosa's Time of the Hero is a great book.

On the porn tip there's a great fictionalized take on Michael and Roberta Findlay, 60s and 70s era pornographers, in Steve Erickson's The Tide Comes in at Midnight.

52 Pick-up by Elmore Leonard is a keeper with some porn background and Ray Garton's trashy Live Girls is a great vampires on 42nd street read.
