1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    I was pretty disappointed by Diary but Choke and Survivor are my favorites of his.

    "The Stranger" was what got me into reading in the first place.

    A lot of existential writing is like that. Very bland, normal life stuff. The First Man is very different to the Outsider though, its quite colorful and passionate and it reads a little like a travel novel with its descriptions of life in Algeria. It was his last book.

    Probably Hemingway or Ayn Rand. Or maybe Ray Bradbury, or Isaac Asimov.
    Hmm I don't think picking a favorite author will ever happen for me.
