Jack Kerouac - On the Road
2001: A Space Odyssey - Arthur C.

Women by Charles Bukowski (recommended by Dwarf)

Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. Probably my all-time favorite fantasy book. He does the characters better than almost anything I have ever read in the genre, the plot and direction of the story always keeps you on your toes and guessing, and his writing style is very rich and colorful without being too word-heavy.

I've been meaning to read that. One of my friends did, and he suddenly developed an obsession with Kafka bigger than my obsession with Poe and Lovecraft.

I really didn't care for it that much to be honest. I know Kafka was sooooooo revolutionary for his time and I'm not one of those sappy babies that hates a story just because it doesn't end on a good note but it seemed like the protagonist really got fucked and Kafka just kind of underscored the shittiness that resides within all of us. I guess all in all it just kind of put me in a downer mood for a while after I read it.

Life of Pi, by Yann Martel! 100 gripping chapters of survival and weirdness on the open Pacific![/i].

Awesome book, glad some other people out there are reading it. And this was one of the books I remember sitting down and reading cover to cover nonstop, I just couldn't put the thing down! Not too many out there that have that effect on me.

Jack Kerouac - On the Road

Nice to see other people reading some Beat stuff, I've kind of been getting into that whole genre/movement lately. I just read Junky by Burroughs and loved it, I really want to read Naked Lunch too as that's the one he's most known for.
