Keeping in mind im making an effort to get away from what i usually read, im going to omit all sci fi and political thriller stuff
oscar wilde
portrait of dorian grey... classic, very cleverly written.
Chuck Palahniuk
fight club and survivor... insanely original story ideas. and overall good reads.
Charles Bukowski
post office... I found his ultra irreverance and humor really entertaining and oddly have no desire to read another bukowski book despite the fact that i tore through this one laughing all the way.
amazon.com really is just a pretty poor site for reasearch. it takes way too long to simply determine from an authors name, what is their genre and best work.
