Yes, I love all of Pynchon's books except for his latest one. I'd recommend "The Crying of Lot 49" for someone new to him. |

I have said it over and over... but W.S.Burroughs-Naked Lunch..it's like that first drop of acid... |
||||||||
|
|

The Crying of Lot 49..IS great.. I have been getting into and have read three Chuck Palahniuk's so far..my problem with his stuff is that..he is got brilliant concepts and ideas..and anectodes tied to ..frankly some of the most ridiculous plotlines...personally I think he should do away with having plots..acts..conclusions and cut loose free form like Burroughs or even Irvine Welsh especially circa Trainspotting... |

umm lets see, there have been a few. Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad (just read it and maybe im being a little bias but its excellent) Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan, all ten books (especially The Shadow Rising) Confederacy of Dunces-having trouble remembering the authors name ahh there are so many, i will just shout out a few off the top of my head - the brothers k, crime and punishment, passage to india, catch 22, anything by toni morrison, CATCHER IN THE RYE (excellent book), the things they carried, lord of the rings, everything is illuminated, many many more |

A clockwork Orange by Burgess is a VERY wicked book....Good Call...It was 50x better than the movie. |

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah man I've read it twice - a gap of about six years so I wanted to see what I thought of it today... I've read every single thing King has ever done, and I thought Desperation was a real stinker :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when I say done... I mean "released" |
||||||||

I've missunderstood you somewhere,I thought you meant I was on drugs because you thought It didn't exist.I read the post wrong. I thought was a good book,can't say why,but I loved it for some unknown reason. |
||||||||
|
|

Hey if you enjoyed it, then fair play. Some of the King books I love other people can't stand :) |

Vladimir Sorokin... He's a marginal Russian writer. He writes stuff... it's impossible. It's like Hell on paper. It's too bad to be translated. It's really really worse than Rotten dot com. It's like Rotten of the literature. Hell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Rotten.com is mild compared to some of the links I have. |
