Shakespeare? In general I say No, thanks.

Normally I don't like reading poetry at all but I'm reading knots by R.D. Laing right now. This is some strange but extremely sensible stuff..

That book inspired Gentle Giant's song by the same name

^ I recall enjoying that book when I read it in school. Would like to get around to reading it again sometime.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
I've been meaning to read this for a while now. Loving it so far.

^^ I liked it...although I did feel it ultimately lacked that certain something which would elevate it to a classic. But an enjoyable read nonetheless.

One of my favorite films, Cabaret, was inspired by it...(:

I read about half of this book last year. I just went and finished re reading The Gunslinger, great book. Gonna try to finish reading this one this time. From what I remember it was very good I just didn't have the time to finish reading it.
