--- Quote from: dessa ---
"One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
"The Heart of Darkness" by Joseph conrad (an absolute must read, a one nighter read too)
--- End quote ---
Ive read OHYOS... it was difficult and quite circular and confusing. If you want to read something very similar but a little more accesible then read "The House of the Spirits" by Isabel Allende
Heart of Darkness is brilliant. It's the inspiration for Apocalypse Now, the Vietnam movie. Brilliant.
I recommend "The Ultimate HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. However, if you are to buy it then you MUST buy it from outside the USA. I made the mistake of ordering a copy from Amazon.com only to find that you oversensitive Americans had censored the damn thing. It's not the Rory for most gratuitous use of the word Belgium in a screenplay, it's FUCK, F-U-C-K.
I pity you people that have to live in such a PC country.
Martin:
Doppler by Erlend Loe. I'm not shure if it has been translated into other languages yet, but it was some of the best I've read so far this year.
And The Alchymist by Paulo Coelho is really great as well.

One of my favourite introductions of all times:
"Lets rock and roll. (I invented rock and roll. You wouldn't believe what I've intevented. Anal sex, obviously. Smoking. Astrology. Money." That and him calling Kant something on the lines of a pugged-face obsessive masturbator! BAH! I laughed.
