Frankenstein - Mary Shelley - wasnt expecting to like it but it really is a great book - very atmospheric and more than meets the eye!

...Been going through the links in my signature?

No but thanks for pointing it out man, it will be added to my endless favorite's list.

The influence of The Doors's (the band) name. Isn't it about mescaline? Never got around to reading that one. Heard of Brave New World? I enjoyed 1984 by George Orwell a lot more. I think that's where the "Big Brother" term was coined. You should check that one out.

Yes The Doors got their name from it. And yes it is a systematic study of the mescaline experience and its effects. I haven't come across Brave New World, maybe I will read it after Trance-formation. Never heard of 1984...I will be sure to look into it as well.

If you haven't read it, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thomson is a fantastic read. It is pretty short, but I'm pretty sure it is mostly true (of course reflects only perception, so it must be). It is really his only book worth reading.

Tom Robbins is also a fantastic writer. Fierce Invalids from Hot Climats / Skinny Legs & All are very good.

Wow, its always so good to come across others who read in the first place! I love to read. Right now I'm reading, MARY QUEEN of SCOTLAND and the ISLES, by Margaret George. I enjoy historical novels as long as its not all about war.
My fav. book, THE MISTS OF AVALON, by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Writer? Writers! Marion Zimmer Bradley, Stephen King, Jean Auel, and Anne Rice.
Im fascinated with anything to do with Arthurian legend, horror is great, pre-historical novels turn me on, weird facts, and Celtic lore.
I have 4 six ft tall bookcases full, so for me to pick 5 to recommend......
UPPITY WOMEN OF MEDIEVAL TIMES, The TALISMAN by Stepen King/ Peter Straub, THE STAND by Stephen King, THE MISTS OF AVALON; and companion books in series, and last but not least, FART PROUDLY by Benjamin Franklin.
I really hope you look for and read FART PROUDLY, Benjamin Franklin was a bawdy old dude! In his day bathing was believed to be dangerous, and this guy was swimming nude in the Thames.

weeeee!

Well, I've nailed back a few novels over the last few years..
All of Michael Crichton's Fictional work, most of his nonFictional..but not all. I found a new Author by the name of Steve Berry...only 2 novels so far from him but damn! it's good. 2 and a half of the Lord of the ring novels also.
this, ontop of whatever reading i was nailed with in school.
*grumbles*
all in all.. i'd say about 2 dozen novels over the last 5 years.

p.s checkout "The Third Pandemic" by Pierre Ouellette

I here a lot of people talking about Douglas Adams. And no one is mentioning KURT FUCKING VONNEGUT! I read hitchikers guide to the galaxy. Douglas Adams imitates KV without bieng half as funny. Someone said they would try any writer funnier than Douglas Adams. Pick up a copy of Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. In addition to bieng the best book I have ever read it is by far the funniest.

I hear alot of people talking about Steven King. I was overjoyed to hear somebody finally mention THE STAND. My second favorite book.

Chuck Palanuik's Fight Club is worth a read but nothing else of his is.

Oh. And East of Eden by John Steinbeck ties for first as my very favorite book.

Chuck Palanuik's Fight Club is worth a read but nothing else of his is.

That just plain bullshit. Palahniuk happens to be my favorite author and I would seriously recommend all of his works. My favorites(In order):

Survivor
Fight Club
Invisible Monsters
Choke
Lullaby

In the process of reading his newest: the Haunted.

Also check out Carlos Castaneda's books. He writes about being the apprentice to Don Juan a Yaqui indian sorcerer in mexico. If your interested in the spiritual use of peyote or mushrooms these are the books for you.

I've never heard of Kurt Vonnegut. But i'll definately look out for Breakfast of Champions.

It's funny; I have almost all of Stephen King's works, but I haven't got round to reading The Stand yet. It's just that i've acquired most of his books recently so haven't had time to read them all yet.. And for every book of his I finished I acquire two more.. +lol+
