The Grand Theatre of Freaks

[Jin]

I second the nomination of Colbert's book. It didn't win the Stephen Colbert Award for the Literary Excellence for nothing.

Other than that, I don't know what you like. You're asking for fiction I'm assuming, as most people do, but I haven't read any fiction in a while. I've been too occupied with reading the works of ancient historians and biographers. I also picked up Machiavelli's The Prince the other day. It's quite a good read. On that note I recommend Suetonius's Lives of the Caesars. It's hilarious. While most historians and biographers focus on political and military careers, Suetonius focuses on sex, diet, sex, humourous quirks, sex, witty retorts, disposition and sex.
