BREAKING NEWS and 24
assorted things from TC Boyle, Kafka, Paul Auster, Eugene Ionesco, Camus, Somerset Maugham, Stefan Zweig, Joseph Conrad, Oscar Wilde, Jean Baudrillard, Michel Houellebecq and others. I'm particulary fond of German Classic, French Absurdism, English Realism and American Contemporary. A great deal of my time is spend on non-fiction anyway. Preferably books that explore the abysms of the human mind.
