I'm reading a few books at the moment, including Crowley's "Diary Of A Drug Fiend" and Faulkner's "Absalom Absalom!" (which is taking some time, what with the having to re-read sentence that go on, and on, and on, without relent, for entire paragraphs, some of them even pages, just like this sentence).
I studied Russian Literature so my favorites in that genre include: "The Master and Margarita", "The Steel Bird And Other Stories", "Dead Souls", "The Idiot", "Pale Fire", and "Envy". Other than that, I like Raymond Carver's short stories (the "Where I'm Calling From" collection) ... Louis-Ferdinand Celine "Journey To The End Of Night" ... Tim O'Brien "The Things They Carried" ... Leonard Cohen "Beautiful Losers" ... Don Delillo "Libra" ... DH Lawrence "Sons And Lovers" ...
More I'm forgetting.
