For fun off the top of my head:

Sexing the Cherry - Various metaphysical Phillip. K. Dick novels - Exquiste Corpse, Poppy. Z. Brite - Crime and Punishment - The Secret Life of Lazlo, Count Dracula and many others.

Highly recommended reading:

Mysterious Skin, Sccot Heim.

Anything by Palahniuk. Letham, Burgress, Eugines...

Comics you need to read:

Alan Moore:

V for Vendetta
From Hell
Watchmen
Swamp Thing

The Sandman, Neil Gaiman.

Preacher, Garth Ennis.

Lucifer, Mike Carey (this is FLAWLESS).

Transmetropolition, Warren Ellis (Alan Moore on LSD, always good).

Y: The Last Man

Hellblazer: John Constatine.

Well hope you like my half dazed reading list...

The French Lieutenant's woman by John Fowles.
It's for school, but its boring as usual... Readable but def, not interesting.
Don't try this book.

^^ Is it good? I've been pondering whether or not to read this book for a few months. Many consider The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn "childish" although it is deemed a classic.

^^That's a good book. If you like Animal Farm you should try Nineteen Eighty Four. Its more complicated and much heavier but it's worth it. Although it can get a bit depressing if you let all the dystopian stuff get to your head.

1984 is heaps scary. Orwell had a nutjob of a brain (I mean this in a good way).

I read Huckleberry Finn when I was a kid. Good stuff. I'd love to read some of Twain's travel stuff but never came across any of them.

I'm reading a book on the Napoleonic Wars.

Almost anything by Orwell is great.

I've barely started. I'd say give it a read though.
