You obviously thought wrong.

Everyone can expand their vocabulary, but there's a point when you begin to sound like a douche and I don't want to cross that line. Ever.

I only do it when cunts are particularly pissing me off now.
She's good, she's 14 months today. She hates Santa, screamed when we gave her to him. She was fine last year, although she had no idea what was going on.
Okay? Crepe.

Anything by Borges

Most things by Marquez

Rushdie's earlier stuff was fantastic, haven't read anything he did recently so can't comment on that

Terry Pratchett is awesome, particularly his Discworld series, of which I'm an avid fan

Hemingway and Steinbeck are pretty good

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King is overall an enjoyable read although it gets a bit obscure and ridiculous at times. Also some of his other non-horror works such as Green Mile and the Different Seasons book (which includes Rita HAyworth and the Shawshank Redemption)

Friedrich Nietzsche's books on his rather twisted and somewhat insane philosophy is actually an entertaining and thought-provoking read and although I disagree strongly at some points I have to admit that I begrudgingly conceded he had a point at other parts.

Voltaire is an entertaining philosopher as well and slightly less insane. Check out some of his works too. Of the admittedly very little I've read of him, its nevertheless more absorbing than the over-complicated drone-ish tone of other philosophers

The Arabian Nights is also pretty cool
