good ones, preferably. I'm looking for something more along the lines of classic literature, but not quite.

scratch that, just anything good.

Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams. It can be hard to find, but if you don't love it I will eat my copy of it.

Looks like that, doesn't it. Actually, everything except Catch-22, 1984 and Small Gods I had to read for college classes. I read The Sound and the Fury and Animal Farm in high school, and then again in college.

Contemporary literature pisses me off. It's not very good. In fact, it's rather threadbare. Besides, one shouldn't throw aside books like the ones I mentioned just because they weren't written in the last ten years.
