A Scanner Darkly was great. I'm reading haunted now, the first short story is horrible haha I dont want to give to much a way but its about fuck ups with masturbation its disgusting and may make you feel a bit nauseus. Its called "Guts" and the rumour is that when he read it aloud at an instore signing people where fainting.

Just got back from my hols and whilst I was there i read Moralities by Joan smith, starts off pretty promising along the lines of No Logo, factual about Clinton, Saddam, 18 + 17 Centuries and then as if by magic..... turns into a feminist rant about the treatment of women in the war and throughout the centuries. I mean, i love women, but they can fucking moan sometimes!

If you're going to read palahnuik(fight club guy), i would suggest doing it in order, the guy is a genius, to be honest. Invisible monsters is my personal favourite, but if you like one then you'll like them all.
