This should win best thread ever or something.

Contrary to most people who have posted so far, I generally dislike fantasy. I’ll certainly make exceptions but it has to be written well. Fantasy now a days just seems like a massive money making machine, a la Eragon.

Instead I like what some people like to call “Surrealist fiction”, I personally don’t agree with that but bleh you can’t argue the majority. It’s stuff like Invisible monsters by Chuck Palahniuk or Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis. I read a great book called senseless the other day, was in a similar vein to fight club.

My top three authors are as follows:
Bret Easton Ellis
Chuck Palahniuk
Ben Elton

My top three books (this IS subject to change)
American Psycho
Choke
Popcorn

I also like to read classics, though I'm not a big fan of Jane Austen I do like Charles Dickens, Donby and Son is a great book. Tolstoy is a genuis as well, I've read Lolita which was fantastic (and not about pedophillia already!) but I've never read War and Peace, it's on my "to read" pile but just looks so daunting.
