I just finished 'A life of Pi' which is a very good book about a boy that gets shipwrecked and his journey.

And John Dies at the end, recommended by good Sir Toonces, which is basically just an awesome,weird horror story with multiple dimensions, loved it.


Day of the Triffids, pretty old book but very nicely written.

I don't know them all by heart but I have around 200 books in my collection, i'll sift through them.

I reflect upon A Clockwork Orange more than any other book I've read. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, try A Scanner Darkly.

I only saw a scanner darkly, didn't get a chance to read the book yet, maybe I should order it online. I like books better than the movies made of them anyway.

I've tried to watch A Scanner Darkly like 4 times now, just can't seem to do it :? It's a very weird movie.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but the book is very fucking weird... looking back I still can't make sense out of certain parts... Philip K. Dick was either a schizo or an incomprehensible genius.

I saw A scanner Darkly stoned and I can't really explain what's it about anymore, very confusing.

I'm looking for the book now.

About to start reading On The Road by Jack Kerouc after losing faith in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising... it's just too technical.

I bought a Tom Clancy about Desert storm when I was 15 and loved all the technicalities he puts into his books, was like a thousand page thick whopper hehe, surprised quite a lot of adults when I pulled that shit out on the flight to the Dominican republic.

The book had its moments but just about every chapter on submarine warfare made me want to go to sleep, I couldn't go on for another 200 pages.

^From what I know, it's a biography of some guy who traveled around America or the world for several years just hitching rides here and there. It's pretty inspiring apprently. (Haven't read the book)
