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.
