Ugh. I felt so scared for such a long time afterwards.

Also, a book I've just mentioned in another thread, Monster Love by Carol Topolski is quite a good read but again, it's quite disturbing.

I kept waking up my boyfriend while I read it for comfort!

Another vote here for Evelyn Waugh, and some non-cliché Orwell - by which I mean Down&Out or The Road To Wigan Pier. It's not ALL about 1984 pplz...

Read some de Sade, too... Justine is good. Also if you have the patience with her writing style, try Woolf's Orlando. It nearly killed me because I hate the way she writes.

Oh and Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. Fucking HILARIOUS and I had to put Rizla in all the pages to remind myself where the funny funny quotes were (see sig).

You are gay. Avoid Stephen King also.


Back to the thread.

Whoever named Camus and John Waters deserved a pat on the back but the rest of their list shocked and appalled, so patting has been suspended.

Bronte, Orwell, Austen, Woolfe, Coupland, Waugh, NEIL FUCKING GAIMEN??? all shit.

Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Bell Jar, The Great Gatsby - all worthless too.


Off the top of my head:

Camus - The Fall, The Outsider.
Bukowski - ANYTHING except Pulp, that was worthless.
Hunter S Thompson - The Rum Diary, Fear and Loathing.
DH Lawrence - The Rainbow
William Burroughs - Queer
Anthony Burgess - A Clockwork Orange
Jack Keroac - On The Road

and as someone else said.

"Philosophy in the boudoir - Marques De Sade
Notes from the underground - Dostoevsky
Les enfants Terribles - Jean Cocteau"
