Yeah, Cats Cradle was good. I liked Deadeye Dick, too. Haven't read Slaughterhouse Five, though, I should do that. |

philip kindred dick "valis" |

hummmm hard to pick an absolute favourite....i have too many in different genre's. one author i think all should check out is Jorge Luis Borges - one of the most influential Latin American Writers. his stuff is complex and may require re-reading but it's worth the effort. one recommendation 'shakespeare's memory' |

franny and zooey by jd salinger but i actually just ordered a truck load of books online (yes, it's true, i'm too lazy to even go to the local book store to pick them up) and looking forward to doing some reading (as opposed to rotting away at work/in front of computer/etc) |
||||||||

|

my friend recommended one hundred years of solitude like a year and a half ago and i've still yet to pick it up. i've been meaning too ... honest ;-) |

Naked Lunch.. a more amazing book is yet to be written... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I need to read naked lunch, people have said its good but couldn't describe it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's like taking every drug known to man all at once..uppers downer..hellucinogens..without actually taking them.. you can literally feel the neural pathways burning across the brain pan as you read... does that describe it? |
||||||||
|

Holy snarf. Is there some general theme, or does the madman's ideas richochet... rikashhhay in haph... half ... HAZeerd directions a ma directions. ? |

Dozier, there werer 6 books? i thought there was only 5.... what came after 'mostly harmless'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Well it's gotta be something with a LOT of pictures. I don't have the attention span to read a book. Right now I'm going through this big Time book about World War 2. I also love the Beatles Anthology book. Lotsa visuals. |

Ada or Ardor: A family chronicle by Vladimir Nabokov. If you haven't read it, read it now. It is the best book I have ever read. I don't understand why people think Lolita is his best work, this is so much better. |

Bob: Well, I guess technically there's only 5 books, but there's 6 stories. The one before Mostly Harmless is called Young Zaphod Plays It Safe but it's very short--only 14 pages long. |

On the road by Jack Kerouac!!!!THE BARON HAS SPOKEN!!!!!!! |

|

|
|
Bob: A while back, I bought The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide. A hard cover including all six of the stories, with a built in cloth bookmark. I got it at Waldenbooks or something. Not sure if you can buy Young Zaphod individualy since it's so short! |
