Yeh it is. One of my favourites of all time.
The author killed himself because he couldn't get it published, his Mum worked after his death to get it published and it ended up being amazingly popular.

I'm bumping this thread a bit. Looks to be about 2 months old now. :D

Just wanted to add a few of my favourite authors,

Jeffrey Eugenides (Middlesex, The Virgin Suicides)
Michael Ondaatje (The English Patient, In the Skin of a Lion)
Hunter S. Thompson (Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, The Rum Diary)
Umberto Eco (The Name of the Rose, Foucault's Pendulum)
Nick Hornby (About a Boy, High Fidelity)

I'm also quite the George Orwell fan. I enjoyed 1984, as well as a good chunck of his published essays.
