At certain libraries and stores, yes. I think the problem with it is copyright infringement since the author turned into a bible thumper.

Atlas Shrugged is interesting, but I go for, Flight of the Intruder and Marine Sniper. Also October Sky.

I didn't like Farenheit 451.

Mine would be... Harry Potter!

Ok, just kidding. I don't think I could give an exact piece.

I hate Ayn Rand, but to each their own. My favorite would be Ulysses or Finnegans Wake.

Slaughterhouse 5.

Both are really cool, but Slaughterhouse V is legitimatelyn one of my favorite books ever. Trainsotting is my absolute favorite. Post Office by Bukowski, Survivor by Chuck Palahnuik, and of course the Garden of Eden by Ernet Heminggway are all also up there.

His language is usually just about actions and describes things very little. He prefers to show rather than tell, if you get what I mean. He wrote a lot about war, hunting, drinking, dysfunctional relationships, bull fighting, and writing itself. Oh, and fishing. LOTS AND LOTS about fishing.

Sounds like the old french litterature that I have read at college. Guy De Monpassant and Emile Jacar... not my thing.

I'm more about the mind. I just like to see the worst position an human being can be and the limit he can reach until he broke into pieces.

Then you would love anything by Irvine Welsh. He writes about human beings in the worst imaginable situations and how it can make them terrible people. I've read Trainspotting, Flith, and Glue by him and they're all exactly like this with a lot of Freudian influences, all having a ton to do with drugs.

LOL, i will check that. The funny thing is that I can come to these conclusion alone without any drugs. I'm aleready over 150 pages on a memorial. I have learned to love writing. It's probably a reason why I don't read that much, I'm more the person who can imply something. With the studies also, I've come to hate books... damn university >:P.
