Yeah, I think the problem is caffeine because the only soda I drink is Pepsi and that has a lot of caffiene in it I think. I might start looking for a juicer, home made juices sound so delicious.

Has anyone read any David Foster Wallace?

I am the absolute worst when it comes to remembering authors... I can read a book 10 times, own it, and still not know who writes it...How disrespectful am I. What does David Foster Wallace write? The name seems familiar...

And on the topic... One book I really freakin hate which gets WAY too much praise and is totally over rated is American Psycho. I effin hate that book. If you haven't read it. DON'T!

His most famous novel is Infinite Jest. Not exactly light reading but I can honestly say it changed my life.

Ooh my gosh. I haven't read American Psycho but i cannot STAND the film. I don't get why everyone loves it! Christian Bale makes me want to throw up!

Put off Slaughterhouse 5 to read Terry Pratchett's Night Watch (friends have been raving about this author for years)

I'm reading Brave new world by Aldous Huxley ^_^
i plan on reading nineteen eighty-four by George Orwell afterwards, to get a nice comparison of the two ecstatic

Brave New World is one of my favourite books.
The whole concept of the world is so interesting.

It's scary to think how true it could become.
I want to read 1984 afterwards, because it's a total 180 twist of that idea. That the world will be controlled by fear and such. Very interesting ideas happy

I read 1984 recently. I discovered I love George Orwell's writing style after reading "Animal Farm."

I want to read that! o_o

I love 1984 and Animal Farm is very good but I found it quite disturbing, the ending is a rather interesting thought to leave the reader with happy

I'm halfway through both Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy and Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. I love classics. I've been writing a lot lately though, so it may be some time before I finish reading those books...

I love classic literature too although I haven't read either novels although I'm planning on reading Tolstoy's War and Peace and Anna Karenina. What other classic literature authors or novels do you like?

The last novels I read were The Scarlet Letter (although I hadn't finished it because I've been busy with school), Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and The Beach by Alex Garland, which a friend lent to me happy
