I hardly ever e-read.

hey is that book by Welsh you just read in there?

Actually Trainspotting and Marabou Stork Nightmares might be on my 'required reading for humanity' list.

The Art of Peace by Morihei Ueshiba

...and anything by Heinlein, but I'd put Stranger In A Strange Land, or The Door Into Summer on top of that list.

**** yeah on Heinlein. I honestly wonder just what kind of a fruitcake, new age weirdo that guy was, cause some of his philosophy in those books is off the wall.

At the risk of Sansa's mockery I'd put Fight Club up there. Existential despair that even the unliterary can appreciate.

i could never make it through Fight Club

but i would say that Invisible Monsters should be some form of required reading

Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man
Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange
W.G. Sebald's Rings of Saturn
Shakespeare's Hamlet
James Joyce's Portrait of an Artist As a Young Man

I couldn't put it down. Usually when a book gives me that kind of dark, misanthropic mood for days on end it's awful, but Fight Club made it delightful.

100% agree with this. Chuck doesn't get much love on the site, but hes decent at what he does.

i think my problem with him is that he just got so damn repetitive....but i love everything through Choke

the only reason i couldn't finish Fight Club is because i saw the movie first and just could not shake those character as they are in the movie
