Re-Reads:
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
On the Road - Jack Kerouac
The Hobbitt - J.R.R. Tolkien

The last book I read was Spanking the Donkey by Matt Taibbi. Excellent collection of articles spanning from the build up to Iraq to the Democratic primaries and through to the end of the 04 election. It would probably go over better in N&D, but it's an excellent read for those not happy with the current state of politics, but not pleased with the direction (or non-direction) of the Democratic party or "liberals" in general.

Angels & Demons - Dan Brown

On the Road - Jack Kerouac

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - JK Rowling

Heller – closing time
Ballard – drowned world
Ballard – high rise (disintegration of our pseudo-civilized shell, nice!)
Rand – virtue of selfishness (a bible of all objectivists)
Marquez – 100 years of solitude (what to say, it's marquez...)

Faulkner – Absalom Absalom

Lysiak – flet z mandragory

i have found ALMOST all of the books worth reading (or re-reading) and i should probably recommend more of them... so i guess it's been a nice as far as books are concerned.

I read more than previous years, but not nearly enough.

1984- George Orwell
Catch-22- Joseph Heller
High Fidelity- Nick Hornby
"Master Harold"...and the boys- Athol Fugard
Chronicle of a Death Foretold- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Flatbellies- AB Hollingsworth
Angels and Demons- Dan Brown
All The King's Men- Robert Penn Warren
Brave New World- Aldous Huxley
Animal Farm- George Orwell

Out of those, All The King's Men by Robert Penn Warren was my favorite, and wiht 1984 in there, that's saying a lot. It's a mammoth of a novel and sort of difficult to get into for a while, but the style and the story and how complicated and intertwined everything is is absolutely breathtaking, and I recommend that everyone read it.

vonnegut-slaughterhouse 5
paluhniuk-lulluby
paluhniuk-invisiblemonsters
paluhniuk-fight club
orwell-1984

ReRead
Great Gatsby-Fitzgerald
Tender is the Night-Fitzgerald
Catch-22-Heller
I'd recommend the work of Ishiguro, though it may be slow, the guy is a wonderful writer. The East of Eden letters are interesting, a look into the mind of a writer as a work develops. The Idiot as well, if one can find the time, dark, morbid, and enjoyable and God Knows is hilarious.

From the top of my head, might have forgotten some:

Salinger - Catcher in the rye
Miller - Death of a salesman
Cotta Vaz - The Lost Chronicles
Kushner - Angels in America
Williams - A streetcar named desire
Albee - Who's afraid of V.W.
Roy - The Checkbook and the cruise missile
