Lions
08.26.09 | Check out Gospel's The Moon Is A Cold Dead World. And if you like 9, check out Days Away, it's that singer's old band and they're awesome.
Read a ton of Alan Moore. Also, House Of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. James Joyce's A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man is an excellent book. Slow Dance On The Killing Ground by William Hanley. The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall. Strangely enough, I can't think of anything else. |

08.26.09 | Any Neil Gaiman

That should take you a good year. |
Lions
08.26.09 | oh yeah, Neil Gaiman! I love Neil Gaiman. Oh yeah, and if you're ever sad, read some Kahlil Gibran. He's the most uplifting read ever. |

08.26.09 | and if you are afraid of infinite jest's length (pussy), try 2666 or cloud atlas or those other ones i mentioned. do not read naked lunch, youll shit your pants and completely question your literacy most likely |
Yotimi
08.26.09 | Naked Lunch. |

at the beginning i always think it says from my butt i can see your house and i laugh a little |
Lions
08.26.09 | My friend just read 2666 and didn't like it. I often disagree with his taste so I might like it. I really want to read Infinite Jest though. |
breesuschrist
08.26.09 | if you start, the opening scene will reel you in and you wont look back |
Lions
08.26.09 | I read the first few pages of Infinite Jest just to get a taste of David Foster Wallace's writing style and I really enjoyed how he wrote. Overall, I really enjoy incredibly long books. |
