A big book of Jorge Luis Borges' short stories. I must say, some of them COMPLETELY BLEW MY MIND!!! |

Vladimir Sorokin - Four Stout Hearts (literally should be translated as Hearts of Four, possible pun on Jack London's Hearts of Three) , in Russian, on his official (web)site. |

Der Zauberberg by T. Mann recently. Also bits and pieces of Finnegans Wake. |

No book I've read has ever blown my mind, but Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics must be what has come closest when I read it in 8th grade. Same goes for Robert M Pirsig - Zen and the art of motorcycle maitenance. Then possibly Kafka's stuff, which restored my faith in the general "fiction" genre. |

Robert M. Pirsig - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance. It's not really much about motorcycle maintenance (nor Zen, that much), but it is very good indeed. Tough going in places, took me 3 attempts to finish it and a fair bit of life experience in similar areas to those the book deals with to really "get" it properly, but it is superb. I'm currently reading the sequel (Lila), which is even harder going, but which I suspect will be as rewarding. |

Seriously though, Money by Martin Amis. What a geezer. |

If you're serious, I really strongly doubt that you 'got' it properly. I'd even go so far as to say that until you've worked in a job (or to done a hobby to a reasonably high skill level) where there's a degree of 'craft' to it, your understanding of the book would he limited. Hell, Pirsig himself admits that well over half the people who read it don't really understand it and he reckons a lot of the reason it did so well was that even if you don't understand the deep philosophising in it, the story is good enough to read and appreciate on its own. |

Ha ha :D It's wicked, I really recommend reading it even if it's a bit of a struggle, it's well worth it. |

I read Ulysses recently and it makes me kind of bored with anything else I read now. Except Alfred Jarry, who is still a hero. And 120 Days of Sodom, that was fun. |
