the Idiot - by Dostojevski, it is not as difficult as many think but he really is a genious (but long, about 850 pages)

@ ENVYx3: NOOOO! don't read
"Less Than Zero." it's a frivolous story about shallow rich coke heads disguised as relevant commentary on alienation. If you're gonna read Brett Easton Ellis pick yourself up "American Psycho"

@Je-suis-scott: really you found it interesting? i found it read like a messianic monologue spouted by a bitter tweeker. it's way too long & the syntax gives the impression of an uneducated child. there are much better "controversial" books out there IMO.

Currently i'm reading:
"American Lion" an Andrew Jackson Bio which is excellent.
"Tag" a graphic novel that at it's core is hopeful but surrounded by layers of revenge, alienation & the macabre.
&
re-reading "Desolation Angels" Kerouac's best book IMO, much better than "On The Road"

too late. i already started it.
it's not that bad. i do get the shallow rich coke heads though. i'm mostly reading it because i liked rules of attraction, and i like his writing, so i decided to try the first book he wrote.

oh well i tried. i had to read it freshman year of college. i was the only one in the class who gave it a scathing review. everyone seems to like, well what's done is done :P. but you really should pick up "American Psycho" brutal brutal subject matter written about so eloquently & lucidly, making it so terribly unsettling, to say the least.

"One Trillion Dollar" by Eschbach. If you want to have a short, simple introduction in the process of global economy and the ethics in that relation, read it. I'm not sure, but i think the english version with this title exists.

War and Peace-Leo Tolstoy. It's my second time going through it.

Lincoln-David Herbert Donald.

What is anything if not something else?

Victoria by Knut Hamsun (almost finished)
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee (I actually finished it this afternoon, so I'm not technically reading it..)
The Other Side Of The Story by Marian Keyes (started last week)

Very eclectic :p

Fight Club by Chuck Palahnuik, even better than the movie.

I just finished Dorian Gray too. I'd agree with the "interesting" comment. I read it because I'm a big fan of his plays but Dorian Gray is certainly very different from the rest of his work.

Jonathan Safran Foer

I'm finally reading Eating Animals - took forever to come out here (and when it eventually did, I didn't have money).

Not very far into it, but I can already tell that this is a book to take note of...

Out by Natsuo Kirino
Outrageous Acts & Everyday Rebellions by Gloria Steinem
The Confusion by Neal Stephenson
Brothers Karamazov by our good friend Fyodor Dostoevsky. Apparently this group likes veggies and Russian lit. :)

I'm reading everything that Haruki Murakami has ever written because I went to the library and after searching in vain for books that I wanted to read (they had NO Bukowski at all) pretty much everything by him that I hadn't read yet was there. Right now I'm on "After Dark." I just finished reading "the United States of Wal-Mart" and "Survival of the Prettiest: the Science of Beauty" because my sister pointed them out and I thought they looked interesting enough. Next, I'm looking forward to reading a book called "Vegan Freak".

@Flipgasic: I just finished re-reading 1984 out of boredom when I owed the library $30 in fines. Isn't he great?

Don't let them fool you.
