oi, I get that it's the internet and all, but you don't need to be a cock head, alright?

I'm reading Looking for Alaska.

Prior, I read The Age of Innocence for a goodreads book club; a VERY painful read.

Anna Karenina was written by Tolstoy, not Dostoevsky.

Catch 22. Satanic Verses or anything else written by Rushdie. Contact by Sagan. Guns Germs and Steel by Diamond. Richard Branson's autobiography. Starship Troopers by Heinlen. Hunchback of Notre Dame by Hugo. Picture of Dorain Gray by Wilde.

Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov :) the language is a bit sophisticated but it's definitely interesting.

From what I gathered from the book, it was weird. I didn't quite grasp what Kafka was trying to convey so I sort of got lost half way through the book. But besides that I think I enjoyed the novella.
