Recommendations!
Jimmy the Squid:
Books 1 through 9 of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice (So Interview with the Vampire to Memnoch the Devil) are pretty good, after that it kind of really gets into the homoerotica side of things more than vampires. Still well written just not as interesting.
Moo Cakes:
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo is wonderful. Go read it now... I hear lots of complaints about things like, "It's too long!" and "How boring!" or "What the heck is a francais?", but it's truly great. It's exciting and beautifully written. The author gives so much detail it's almost like you're in France, fighting alongside Napoleon at Waterloo or Enjrolas at the barricade on the Rue de Montour.
The plot basically follows an ex-convict, Jean ValJean, and the people he encounters while trying to lead a normal life after prison and not get sent back to the galleys.
alonelyargonaut:
American Gods-Neil Gaiman
if you can get it on audio book, do it! one of the best readers ever, and i usually hate audio books!
SilentJ:
Napalm and Silly Putty by George Carlin is bloody brilliant. He's a thinking man's comic: a more vulgar Jerry Seinfeld, if you will.
I'm only working my way through the first season on DVD, but LOST is also bloody brilliant. The fact that Meriadoc Brandybuck is a heroin-addicted bassist/guitarist is enough to get you to watch the show. If either of those pieces of information become major plot points later in the series than where I am now, don't be angry. I'm unaware as well.
Oh, and how many times can I back up a reccommendation for Hitchhiker's without getting arrested?
