last i read the sandman series of graphic novels by neil gaiman. life changing. but now i'm getting bored with his novels as i've just been struggling through "american gods" and have now quit. because i found "the road" by cormac mccarthy and i can't tell you how indcredible this book is, you must read it. i also liked "101 reykjavik" by hallgrimur helgason "invisible cities" by italo calvino "nausea" by jean-paul sartre "demian" by hermann hesse "steppenwolf" by hermann hesse "crime and punishment" by fyodor dostoevski "closely observed trains" hrabal "one hundred years of solitude" gabriel garcia marquez "the fairytale of new york" j.p. donleavy. "me talk pretty one day" david sedaris. "how soon is never?" marc spitz. "lolita" vladimir nobokov "atlas shrugged" ayn rand "the fountainhead" ayn rand "franny and zooey" (well, all of salinger, really.) "a confederacy of dunces" "a heartbreaking work of staggering genius" dave eggers "the perks of being a wallflower" "the picture of dorian gray" by oscar wilde "theif of always" clive barker "neverwhere" neil gaiman "the corrections" jonathan franzen
