Anyone read this?http://thecultureconcordance.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/the-savage-detectives.jpg?w=300&h=429Finished it last night. Super good. But you gotta get to the end.
Which is like... sci-fi Siddhartha. This is probably the most original Hugo award winning book that I've read. Apparently Neil Gaiman was pretty into this book and American Gods was partially influenced by it.
I don't know where you get your facts. The first generation of My Little Ponies were made by Hasbro, not the Khmer Rouge. And Hasbro hasn't made toys out of human skulls since the 1960's.
Has anyone read American Gods? I browsed through the plot on wikipedia and it seems like something I would be into. What do you guys think?
Anyone have any recommendations of short novels? I'm not so good with longer considering I only read two chapters, most, at night.
just finished huck finn, it was awesome
^^^the first three palanuiak books were really easy to get into- rant, choke, and something about a tranny- after that, well with the exception of fight club, they were contrite. don't waste your time
make your own meat spin!

Choke was his fourth, and Rant was much later on in his career. The tranny one (Invisible Monsters) was the only one that was in his first three.

Chuck P has progressively gotten worse with Rant being ok. Diary fucking sucked. Lullaby had it's spots, but everything else was very subpar.
Not a huge fan of Palanuik, seems that he writes solely for shock value. Currently reading:
Reading this right now, really well done.Re-reading this at home, I can't recomend this book enough.
You guys have recommendations for any Horror, SciFi or End of the world/Doomsday books?

I can't recommend it enough. It's hilarious. Don't be tricked by its plot synopsis or it being labeled post-cyberpunk, just read it and laugh at its take on future America. Also, a lot of Philip K. Dick novels are pretty interesting. I've read A Scanner Darkly, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. They're pretty out there but worth reading.
