I was just about to post I am the Messenger. Seriously, that book is fucking awesome.


But I'm gonna have to go original and say the Lord of the rings.

tom clancy. dont agree with his politics at all but he is a ridiculously talented writer. his ability to keep track of a humongous plot is amazing. especially in Red Storm Rising. that was a fuckin cool book!

dune by frank hebert, he is a fucking genious. up there with lovecraft in my opinion as greatest sci-fi writers ever.

I read a handful of poets, yusef kumonyakaa, addonizzio, hughes, bukowski

rum diarys by hunter s. is one of my favorite books of all time.

house of leaves was crazy

the wasp factory is another good one forget the author though
