Virtual Unrealities: Short Fiction of Alfred Bester. A true sci-fi great.

High Fidelity, by Nick Hornby.

Not really, but we studied him in passing in my high school English class last year. Should look into reading some of his work in full, seems like he'd be worth reading.

It certainly is. I'd start with Medea.

Last night I read Shark Hunting in Paradise Garden by Cameron Pierce. A fun, blasphemous giant shark filled romp through a biopunk Eden leading to a theological conclusion that is surprisingly not juvenile, silly or cliche. Cameron's twenty, very funny, very sharp and unabashedly Bizarro. Recommended for anybody who likes Aqua Teen Hunger Force, strange anime and umm...weird giant shark filled romps through a biopunk Garden of Eden. The sharks also fly.

Currently reading John Saul, The Devils Labyrinth

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey Through the Heart of the American Dream, by Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.
