Uhh. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" haha, that's the only book that I've read every year. Otherwise, Edgar Allen Poe, ftw.

Hmm off the top of my head... Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" was pretty thought-provoking. It's not my favourite, but it's definitely somewhere up there.

QUOTE(Angeline @ Mar 29 2008, 03:52 AM)  I like a lot of poems by Whitman. I don't know why, I guess I like antiheroes better than traditional heroes. i agree with you on that...it was his literature that even first got me into writing. <3 |

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. That was an amazing book. It had everything and was so, so funny and entertaining.

Anything by mudvayne really, some might not find that literature, but it is in its own way.

Only fictional book I've read and enjoyed was "The Hobbit". I don't really like fiction books, I tend to read more non-fictional now a days.
