Good man, The Stranger was possibly my favorite by Camus. Clockwork Orange was at one point one of my favorite books, have fun with that.  |

I'm sorry for off topic, but I've always wondered who's the girl in your avatar. She seems very pretty.

The Stranger is a good movie with Orson Welles and Edward G. Robinson. |

The Stranger was also a rather interesting Doctor Who spinoff starring Colin Baker.  |

I'm reading Bret Easton Ellis' debut Less than Zero for the first time.I now realized the movie is only a loose adaptation of the book,particularly with the central character Clay.He is very different in the book than he is portrayed in the movie.

 Interesting so far,a 13 year old girl named Madison Spencer wakes and up realizes she's dead(with no recollection of it happening),and is in Hell.

That's one twisted writer. Lullaby is excellent if you haven't read it.

Just finished Virtual Light by William Gibson. Wasn't terrible, but nowhere as good as Neuromancer was.

Oh yeah I read this. It's pretty horrific. Definitely worth a read.

One of my favorite books ever. If there ever could be a perfect book, this would be a strong contender.

Damned was one twisted book,for sure.The scene with a giant Serbian goddess and the severed head was.....something else.

^ Just got to Joelle's story in Infinite Jest (slow, I know) and it was absolutely stunning.

Well, you know the old saying, "If Mohammed can't go to the mountain, bring the mountain to Mohammed"
That kind of applies to me and Germany! I'm Canadian, and i cannot get to Germany to see it for varied reasons, but i have developed a love of picture books of Germany. Not "travel guides" exactly, but books of photos of the scenery, the buildings, cathedrals, castles, houses, shops, town halls. I love Germany! The one i'm looking through now is called Germany -A Picture Book To Remember Her By |
