Looking at my bookshelf, I'm noticing that I have hardly any books which are fiction. Mostly philosophy, and other non-fiction stuff which is hard to read at work because it requires deep concentration and I get interrupted by customers every so often. So I need good novels, memoirs, and humor too (just broke up with my girlfriend).
Today I went to the book store and purchased
Penguin Classics: Portable Sixties Reader and Chuck Klosterman's
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs. I've heard a lot about the latter being hilarious.
As for fiction which I have read and enjoyed recently, that list would be something like:
Invisible Man (Ralph Ellison)
Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)
1984 (Orwell)
Running With Scissors (A. Burroughs)
Fuck... That's about it. Told ya, not a lot of fiction.
I've always had something against Harry Potter, but I feel like giving it a shot because they do seem like light and easy reads, seeing as how fans blow through them in a night or two. and a couple of those Terry Prachet books sound funny.
