Bit harsh. Did Dan Brown shit on your doorstep or something?
So, what should we all be reading then, smartarse?

Wow man, you're a complete dick. Elitism and snobbishness within interest groups really grind my gears. Like, okay stating you very much do not like a certain author or book is fine but completely disrespecting people and being coarse about it?
In all respect, fuck you.

Just a heads-up on the Murakami thing too btw. Am a pretty big Murakami fan; i've read all his novels (the one's translated into English, anyways), but not yet got round to all the short stories.. :0

With the Old Breed by E.B. Sledge
First hand account of a Marine during the Pacific War... It's fantastic. If anyone is interested in WWII history, this is a must read.

Dude. YES! Frank Herbert is amazing. And someone earlier said House of Leaves is getting really crazy.... just wait until you finish it. That book scared the hell out of me lol.
I guess the last book I had time to sit down and read was The Crying of Lot 49 by Pynchon or Confederacy of Dunces lol lol... Got to love that Ignatius lols. I have V but haven't been able to finish it.... And am now trying to finish Strange Pilgrims but haven't had the time, unfortunately.
Ah, my wife recommends The Awakening.... She says its pretty damn good.
