So ill try to encompass 27 years of reading into this small little blurb (yes i could read fresh out of the womb), I like a lot of the humorists like Augusten Burroughs, Chuck Kloseterman, David Sedaris, Winston Groom, Lewis Grizzard.I also like anything by Hubert Selby, Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, Charles Bukowski, Neruda, Paul Bowles, Nietzche, Henry Miller, Steinbeck, Celan, Hemmingway, etc. etc. etc.
Oh and some others i really like are Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Captain Corelli's Mandolin (the movie was horrific but the book is a great dose of dark comedy), Resistance and Rebellion by Camus, Common Sense by Thomas Paine, and Candide by Voltaire.I'm sure ill think of more later.
Thomas Paine, Russell Means, Thomas Jefferson, Jeffery Bernard, Henry Miller
