BOOKZ DEZTROY ZE BRAIN

HARRY POTTER IS FUCKING GENIUS! - It's true.

hmm, Don Quijote? best tip i can give really, lots of wise words in there ;)

Fight Club and/or Survior by Chuck Palahniuk
Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis (anything by Ellis, but a good place to start)
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugendies
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Crash by J.G.Ballard
My Life As A Fake by Peter Carey
Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco

Just a few of my favourites

thnx a lot :)
crash as in the recent movie?

all of those are movies AFAICT, mostly shitty ones

not all movies... and crash is not the 2004 movie starring Don Cheadle afaik

Rules of Attraction

HOT HOT HOTTTTTTTTTTTT

The five people you meet in heaven was nice..

I would recommend Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands by Jorge Amado, or The Russian Debutante's Handbook by Gary Shteyngart for something a bit.. different :)

fatherland by robert harris
archangel by robert harris
michael crichtons

etc etc blah

Mihail Bulgakov - Master and Margarita, I guarantee it'll go down as one of the best you've ever read. As a sidenote, I liked Albom's 5 people too despite of it being so "soft".

did you read Tuesdays With Morrie?

No, I only read the book (5 people) because a good friend overseas sent it. It was quite nice read with nice comforting story, but not a classic by any means.

Worth reading, I guess, but way overrated.

Christopher Moore, The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

Great and funny book.

I should move this onto my 18 month old journal :]

YOU TOTALLY SHOULD!!

Discworld books by Terry Pratchett (I know it's fantasy but it more ridicules fantasy than otherwise, try picking up The Color of Magic and see how you like it.)

Any H.P. Lovecraft collection.

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson.

Death and the Penguin by Andrey Kurkov.

fo goth

Only Lovecraft writes gothic stories there? Which is not goth in any modern popular sense of the word.

pratchett rules

.

Robin hob assassins apprentice series

Robin Hob Golden fool series

As above any H P lovecraft

Brian lumley Necroscope series

Brian lumley Psychosphere Series

Terry Goodkind - Richard the seeker Series

George R martin Songs of ice and fire series

Kevin J anderson - Saga of the seven suns (space opera on the grand scale)

Stephen Erikson - Tales of Malazan the fallen (any book in the series there all self contained)

did you read his post or just the title

while i agree with your choices they are mostly fantasy.. which he diddnt want :P

If you're after some good Science Fiction then I have some suggestion, if you've only ever seen crap like Star Trek then be prepared to use your brain and imagination :)

Ring by Steven Baxter ('Hard' Sci-fi, epic in scale, this book is special because of its scope and ideas as opposed to exceptional character interaction)

Foundation by Isaac Asimov (dated but worth it)

Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein (Film was shit and missed the point)

Time Ships by Steven Baxter (Official sequel to H.G. Wells 'Time machine')

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein (another classic)

Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein (fascinating character as the focus of this story)

The Ship who Sang by Anne McCaffrey (don't tell anyone but I cried, the focus is more on the characters in this book but I havent read it in a long long time)

THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS
ps i am geek guY LOL!

That book has aged quite badly and many elements of it have been done a lot better elsewhere.

Having re-read the authors Journal entry I'm not so sure any of these books are really what he's looking for, still good books if he fancies a change of Genre.

There's always American Pyscho By Brett Easton Ellis, a classic and if you're not put off by all the explicit tourture scenes then you should get a lot out of it.

Dante Alighieri: "The Divine Comedy".
