Ulysses (James Joyce). What an accomplishment! I mean my reading it. ;) Skinny Legs and All and Jitterbug Perfume (Tom Robbins), A Prayer for Owen Meany (John Irving), Breakfast of Champions and many others (Kurt Vonnegut), The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco), Naked Lunch and Interzone (William S. Burroughs), Reaper Man (Terry Pratchett), The increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's trilogy (Douglas Adams), One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), Orlando (Virginia Woolf), The Catcher in the Rye (J.D. Salinger), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Hunter S. Thompson), Siddhartha (Herman Hesse), Post Office (Charles Bukowski). I really dig Shakespeare and have performed in nine or ten of his plays (a couple of times as a MAN, baby!). I love poetry, especially 20th Century American. Some of my favorites are e.e. cummings, Langston Hughes, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Emily Dickinson, William Blake, Rumi, and Leonard Cohen. I am also a Geek Girl who digs comic books. ..
