-Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
-Steppenwolfe, Sidhartha |

Lateralus |
Anything by Chuck Palahniuk, specifically Survivor, and Fightclub. |

NeoPhono |
I'd recommend anything from Oprah's book club or any book later made into a Lifetime original movie. |

if you relished Siddhartha, read virtually everything by H.H....i'm quite convinced you'll greatly indulge yourself in doing so. Goethe - Sorrows of Young Werther, and Faust are also wicked. The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann is wondrous...
if you want something very comical read Philip Roth - Portnoy's Complaint..this book pwnz me |
