I recently started reading Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, and it is fucking brilliant. It's just a shame I don't have anything else by him to read once I finish this.
Ah, well. So it goes.
--- End quote ---
I had this same realization when I read this book last year. I mean, I swear I'd been meaning to pick up something by Vonnegut for years, I regret now that I hadn't.

I'm suggesting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
It's good guys. It's really good.
Lyrics:
Jennifer Government by Maxx Barry is an amazing book. Deals with the growth of corporations and what happens to a world run by the dollar. I only read this book after playing NationStates for a number of months. Which, if you don't know, is a game based around the book.
Bunnyman:
Heh, I totally bought Jennifer Government after playing NationStates too. Worth every penny.

Just picked up Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis and have nearly finished it, very quick read. All I can say is that it is vintage Ellis, and one of the more amazing things I've read. The man is able to weave the most perverse and absurd situations into a form that makes you genuinely care, as well as fall over laughing. There's also some genuine poignant moments in there too. He reads like Vonnegut if he was a insomniac sex freak. If there are any other Warren Ellis fans out there, I don't need to say any more. Buy this book.
Warning to those unfamiliar with his work though, he seems to have a fascination with the more fringe, bizzare, and fetishist elements of society, and this book is not for the faint of heart. However, if you are adventurous, he is definitely worth picking up. Also, see some of his previous comic work such as Transmetropolitan or Nextwave or really anything with his name on it.
