i only read to learn so i read lots of textbooks and stuff. i don't see the point of reading sci fi or murder mysteries.

I'm reading The Silmarillion (again) as well as Orson Scott Card's Shadow Puppets which is a pseudo-sequel to Ender's Game. Very good stuff from Card as usual. That plus a giant organic chem. textbook.

I'm reading Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk (who also wrote Fight Club). It's a bit fucked up

Advice for other good reads:

Stephen King - IT / The Stand (both amazing works which just didn't work on the screen)

Jeff Noon - Pixel Juice / Vurt (this guy writes wicked stuff, a lot of it based on dance / rave culture)

George Orwell - Nineteen Eighty-Four (Needs no introduction, classic & scary as shit )

Hanif Kureishi - The Black Album
Really good book!

Right now I'm reading 'Glamorama' by Brett Easton Ellis (The guy who wrote 'American Psycho'). It's so funny, its a complete satire of the model-fame-poser world. This guy is a great author, no doubt.

Will have to give that a go, he did a wicked job with American Psycho. (does anybody know if the film does the book any justice?)

I haven't read Amercan Psycho, but my friends who have told me the film sucked in comparison. I saw the film and I thought it was good, but now I dont feel like reading the book since I know what happens..

I agree with you on '1984' beeing a great book btw. Best I ever read.
