I read this recently too, enjoyed it alot.

I just read On Being by Peter Atkins, fairly shit all round tbh.
Its not got alot at all to do with 'being' and the author comes across as a pretentious prick.

+1 for "House of Leaves". Brilliant book. Paired up with "The Whalestoe Letters" it's just unbelievable. Those two are the books that got me back into reading. It was something insanely fresh for me. Check out his other book "Only Revolutions." At first I couldn't get into it, but in the right mindset it's a glorious book.

Lately I've been on a Jose Saramago binge. He has a fresh pessimism that keeps me interested. But he also brings up ideas and motifs that blow me away every time I read one of his books. For him my favourite is "The Cave." Although slow, it's actually an amazing book. It goes from gentle to violent irony in just a few pages... a true masterpiece!

It's downright trippy the first time you read it. Plus rebranding Mad Hatter as a paedo
