perceptualChaos Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Dunno if it'd be the best book i've ever read cause that's a big call but "The Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson is definitely one of my favorites. Dystopian futuristic shit and he just has a real cool style of writing. Also highly recommend Brave New World by Aldous Huxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grind Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 John Steinbeck FTW. Catcher In The Rye, obviously. American Psycho or anything else by the same writer. Life Of Pi. Wish I still had time to read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banga Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Depends what your into bro but a couple of my favs are; Celestine Prophecy by .......?? Redford Archaic Revival & Food for the Gods, both by Terrance Mckenna City of God, can't remebr the author Tommo & Hawk - Bryce Courtney Kitchen Confidential - Anthony Bourdain IMO all of those are pretty decent reads. Terrance Mckenna is pretty out there tho. He writes about triblisim, Shaminism and all sorts of crazy interesting stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphra Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 1 - Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav I'm pretty sure my parents gave this to Catalyst for Christmas 2 years ago. I don't think he's read it yet.. nor I for that matter. I know they're not novels but my faves have to be recipe books Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé- fuckin awesome recipes and always turn out amazing (those of you who tried my chocolate tart on sunday? ) He is one of the best pasty chefs around. Yeah I don't get time to read.. and if I do its textbooks for school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
