Stephen king. Not only does he produce some amazing fiction but his book "on writing" took my own writing to an entirely unforseen level. Thank you stephen.

Octavia Butler. Her novels are completely different to anything else I've ever read. Science fiction mixed with spirituality, romance and horror. It's a thrill to read her!

Hemingway was the first author I truly appreciated beyond just entertainment. The Sun Also Rises along with Marquez's Chronicle of a Death Foretold were what brought me into a conceptual understanding and love of literature. I'd be amiss not to mention Twain, and Shakespeare if we're counting playwrights.
For the last couple years I've been reading less fictional works and a lot more philosophical literature, particularly Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, etc. Recently I've been on a sort of existentialism bender - reading Sartre's No Exit and some Camus.
Oh, and shout out to my homeboys Beckett and Schopenhizzle.

You dig on any psychology? How about sex?
I've just started reading Sex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha. I don't usually buy a book before I've read it & know I'll want to revisit it's pages often but I did buy this one based on a reference from my dearest, closest friend & confidant who assured me I'd have no regrets.
He was right.
I'm just a few chapters in & I'm in love.
Human psychology & sexuality & the people bold enough to really bore into those subjects & be willing to share what they've found, no matter how unconventional or on the contrary of what everyone else thinks they know, are my bread & butter, my wine, the air in my lungs, the blood in my veins, what I live for... this thing is beautiful, is what I'm getting at.
I hope you'll check the libraries in your area for it.
Even if it's not your thing, it's worth taking a peek at. You won't regret it.Comment Hidden ( show )-

Sounds interesting, if not quite what I usually read. I'll check it out. I've read a decent amount of Freud and some of Carl Rogers' client-centered therapy ideas... but these things really hit at the psyche much in the same way that philosophy does. I think psychology and philosophy discuss the same thing - psychology views it through a microscope and philosophy delves inside.

Ooh, Steinbeck & Hemingway are excellent, I love Of Mice and Men & The Old Man and The Sea but I can't pick just one. I also favor Chuck Palahniuk, I think Rant is my favorite of his books.
I really don't have a favorite author but I have a favorite book.
You might check it out sometime, just be sure to keep an open mind when you read it (although, you'll likely still get pissed off as all hell, but that's part of the charm).
It's Inherit The Wind by Jerome Lawrence & Robert E. Lee. Yes, there is a movie & yes, it's good, but do yourself a solid & pick up the book. It's less than a day's read & you won't be disappointed.
Great topic, a breath of fresh air compared to most of the garbage people put on here! Thanks!Comment Hidden ( show )-
