    Can't pick one but the last good book I read was "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" from Kundra. Loved it!

    So hard to say one, but I'd have to pick Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. Naked Lunch meant a lot to me, so did Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises... and older stuff like Dante's Inferno and Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground...

    As for writers going today, I think James Chapman's Stet is one of the best books ever written and nobody has really read it. Chapman might be one of those Van Gogh kinda guys that we realize fifty years later is fucking unbelievable. Also, Steve Aylett's Shamanspace - incredibly poetic, incredibly psychedelic, and fresh as hell.

    Hard to give that one away, but there it is. Just finished it a few weeks ago.

    I can't decide between three (in no particular order):

    The Stand by Stephen King
    Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
    Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

    Very different styles of books, but all of them were great in my opinion.

    I have a strange fascination with "The French Lieutenant's Woman" and a few others but I really can't say I have a true favorite book.

    The Stand is such a masterpiece. It is a bit wordy, but it was an absolute ride!
