[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/67/Confederacy_of_dunces_cover.jpg[/IMG] A Confederacy of Dunces. "The story is set in New Orleans in the early 1960s. The central character is Ignatius J. Reilly, an educated but slothful 30-year-old man still living with his mother in the city's Uptown neighborhood, who, due to an incident early in the book, must set out to get a job. In his quest for employment he has various adventures with colorful French Quarter characters." Hes basically a fat fuck who thinks he's the most inteligent person in the world, and that others are just shitheads compared to him. When her mom ends up damaging a building in a car accident, he must start looking for a job to help pay the bill, or else he would leave his mother's house. Its just amazing. I recommend it to anyone.

[QUOTE=Destroyertf;31035193] A Confederacy of Dunces.[/QUOTE] It's also worth telling the story behind the book. The author tried to get it published but no one would take it and he later killed himself. A while later his mom sent it to a publisher and it ended up getting published and winning the Pulitzer Prize.

Chariot of the gods is fairly "taboo" i think, especially when you think of the time period its from. its also a pretty good book

Let the right one in is a pretty awesome book that I read, but also very weird at times. For example when a pedophile buy sex from a young boy with his teeth removed so that he can suck better.. Oh and also when a vampire/zombie mix starts jerking off to one of the main characters who is a little boy (that looks like a girl), which after he tries to rape him altough the young boy had his genitalia removed.. Very weird but also very good. :)

maybe already posted butttt Swan Song (post apocalyptic awesomeness) also a baby gets its head crushed by the butt of a soldiers rifle.. Enders Game just good about some dude in space who kicks ass on a computer game

The Dispossessed, an epic book of sci-fi fused with an intricate socio-political narrative. Friggin' revolutionary, never mind provocative and insightful. The Left Hand of Darkness, a sci-fi done by the same author as TD that in a nutshell explores, through its depiction of a genderless society, how our societies are shaped by the gaping cultural differences between the sexes. Again, absolutely fantastic read.

A little weird at the beginning, but actually started to become good towards the middle of the book. Great book overall though. [img]http://gyazo.com/3df4be56cd2bb72e3a93220332f5a5c5.png[/img]

I absolutely love the slang they use and the movie supports it well as a visual aid though they don't include the last chapter.

[img]http://www.finalcall.com/artman/uploads/2/green_book_1.jpg[/img] Last year, our country was Libya for Model UN. In all honesty, I was pretty damn surprised that Gaddafi wrote this book. A lot of things here are a bit too ideal, though I was a bit shocked by his actions during the uprisings. He is crazy, but there was some intelligence in him when he took over Libya. Interesting read though, definitely a lot of exploitable quotes you can find.
