    The brief wondrous life of Oscar Wao.
    Because I see a lot of me into him. Also I wish he was a real person. We could have been friends. That character is the reason I use this nickname.

    "Time Enough for Love" by Robert Heinlein. Hard to explain why but it changed my life.

  • "The Shroud of the Thwacker" 

    "With a wink and a nod to Patricia Cornwell, The DaVinci Code, and Caleb Carr's mysteries, Elliott does for the historical crime genre what Douglas Adams did for science fiction in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

    What's not to like about that? :)

    I've answered this question so many times and the answer doesn't change.  Pat Conroy used to be my favorite Southern Author but he grew into my favorite author.  Beach Music is my favorite book.  Mr. Conroy died a few months ago.  He and that last novel he didn't get to write are missed by many.

    John Dies at the End by David Wong is my all time favorite novel, hands down. It's the only book I've read that's just as hilarious as it is terrifying. It handles the balance between horror and comedy better than any film I've seen. There's a movie adaptation, but that just pissed me off.

  • I saw that movie. It wasn't that good.

    Isn't he a snarky Cracked writer? That really turns me off. I can't stand Millenial snark. "Top 10 Reasons Old People Suck".

    Yeah, he's one of Cracked's top editors. We all have our own idea of what's funny. And I have noticed a lot of other people who love JDATE are around my age if not younger.

  • Long time ago, I really enjoyed it.

    I should dig it out and see how it feels now.

    How can you pick?  I like so many for so many different reasons!

    I've read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance  and On the Road twice so I must like them. 

    One I couldn't put down was Stephen Kinds 11/22/62
