I only read a few chapters of choke, but Chuck Palahnuik is a great author. I've also read survivor by him it was kind of fucked up. Crank by Ellen Hopkins is pretty good and completly about drugs and the down fall of a heavy crank user.

There is an exellant book explaining taoism through the eyes of winne the poo.The book is called the Toa of Poo,cant remember the writter.Great read.

William S. Burroughs books! Fear and Loathing/Trainspotting and On The Road is a defining book of the beat generation!

So I know this is a little late, but the title of the novel Blade runner was based on is actually Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? A very good novel, though. Philip K. Dick is a favorite author of mine. I'd also suggest A Scanner Darkly (same author), which is an involving story that heavily features drug use. As a side note, the movie adaptation of a scanner darkly is one of the few book-to-film adaptations that I heartily approve of (but the book was still way better).

It's not remotely drug related but The Road by Cormac McCarthy is sooo worth reading. It's probably the bleakest pulitzer winner ever.

Just finished Wind up bird chronicle last week! Great book. Have you read "Kafke by the shore"? 'nother great murakami book.

"The Road" is awesome. All of McCarthy's work is killer, but some of his stuff is written so eloquently that it can be difficult to read (feels like you just read a modern shakespeare almost)

heroin diaries. never read it but heard its really good

I think Cormac is my favorite novelist at the moment. I really liked Blood Meridian. It was so dark and evil and awesome.

Breaking open the head by Daniel Pinchbeck

Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs

The electric kool-aid acid test by Tom Wolfe

and if you want to wait another 6 months,
you can buy my novel;
Over The Counter, under the table by Raymond P. Geffert

That's amazing! Can you give us a sneak peek?

Quoted as truth. Last 2 books iv read where Rant and Lullaby both by Chuck. Both great books, Rant is particularly disturbing. For anyone who doesnt knw hes the guy who wrote Fight Club, has anybody here read the book,is it different/better than the film?

Carlos Castaneda's The Teachings Of Don Juan: The Yaqui Way Of Knowledge
It's about an outsider taking a tribal spiritual journey climaxing with Mezcal in the desert.
I hear his other books are good too but I haven't read them.

this thread inspired me to start reading again, something i havent done since i started high school. I used to read a lot but high school i guess sucks your will to learn right out of you.
I went down to the library and got out The Rum Diary, and Kingdom of Fear both by Hunter S. as well as From Bauhaus to our House by Tom Wolfe. Im half way through Rum Diary and its great so far, particularly for an aspiring journalist (i start a diploma in communications tomorrow.

That's good to hear. I hope you enjoy it. Highschool certainly sucked my will for just about everything.
