Check out "At Swim Two Birds" by Flann O'Brien...

Catch 22 is great too

Em...reading a book about Economics right now... the guy says the 1930's depression could have been avoided if they printed more money.

You'd only give it to a library.

Fuck sake, that Top 100 book list is obviously some sort of hilarious practical joke. How else could 'The Catcher in The Rye', which I still maintain to be one of the worst books I've ever read, get on it? Great American novel my fuckin hole.

I'm reading 'Last Exit To Brooklyn' by Hubert Selby Jr., 'Use of Weapons' by Iain M Banks and 'A Short History Of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson. Alternating between them when the mood takes me, coz I'm a fuckin *nerrrrrrd*. The best book ever has to be 2001: Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke. Haven't seen the movie though, thank fuck. Movies are for spas.

Yeah, Oly, DO NOT get the film of "Last Exit.." out after you finish the book, it's a massive dissapointment>though that's mainly cos it's such a fucking amazing book.Hubert is the man.

Robert Jordan is the king.
Just read Junky by Willy Buroughs, good stuff. Also American Pastoral by Philip Roth is pretty hardcore brainhurt (in a good way). I read The Quare Fellow by Brendan Behan last week, deadly. Shitloads of HP Lovecraft again recently. And various academic bullshit.
