One of the best books I have ever read is Blindness by Jose Saramago. It's fucking intense. Contagious blindness strikes the world.....

also mentionable are Life of Pi, and Battle Royale.

I know what you mean Fuckault is heavy. The Deleuze book on him is ace though, pretty easy going. You should check some of the Deleuze & Gutarri stuffs too, A thousand plateaus is sick. Changed my life, man... (no, really)

havent read that one yet ikari, but gaiman is amazing. really dug American Gods as well as Neverwhere.

Yeah man, American Gods is amazing. I need to read his new novels too, Anansi Boy and Fragile Things. He never disappoints, his writing is always inspired and delirious.
Cant get enough of the sandman at the moment tho. Fables & Reflections is excellent, but the preceeding volume (A Game Of You) was really something pretty special.

ok i just went through the whole thread in an hour, can't believe i hadn't seen it b4.

hells yeah, dub steppaz got their mind right..i'd like to thank all yall for some ill recommendations. heres mine

Junkie....William S. Burroughs...first hand account of a junkie in nyc-1940s
Naked Lunch.....William S. Burroughs...continuation of Junkie's theme but this time the madness gets more unreal
A Place of Dead Roads....William S. Burroughs...gunslingin opium headz
City of Red Nights...William S. Burroughs....what if history was taken over by the regular mad-max rogue
The Western Lands......William S. Burroughs...another hallucinatory episode through the afterlife

As you can see I'm a big fan of Burroughs, he exploded literature wide open which allowed others to continue where he left off like Pynchon, Gibson, Chomsky, Mclullhan, even K. Dick

I also like Blanchot's The Siren's Song....makes you understand Kafka more than Kafka could understand himself
Dostoevsky's Letters from the Underground...how can you forget bout Dos?

Crime and Punishment....Foucault....you have to love to read philosophers like Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, Lacan, to be able to pick up all this stuff, otherwise it'll leave you numb.

props again on all the recommendations lookin forward to many of these titles. peace

nice bit of non-fiction for you....' the god delusion', richard dawkins. only read the preface so far but its looking good already. poo poos on the whole religion thing, which is always good as far as i'm concerned. only £3.70 in your local Asda too.
