A Confederacy of Dunces - John Kennedy Toole
Perdido Street Station - China Miéville
Snowcrash - Neal Stephenson
Vernon God Little - DBC Pierre
Weaveworld - Clive Barker

Neal Stephenson is fucking great. I've got Quicksilver to read, and I should probably re-read Cryptonomicon and finish Snow Crash *I had to put it down to focus on school*. Also, cheers on Weaveworld. Clive Barker's epic books are fucking phenomenal. He gives Neil Gaiman a run for his money.
I just finished reading my last book for school last week called White Boy Shuffle by Paul Beatty. It was actually pretty cool. Now that I'm done reading for school I can focus back on leisure reading. I'm perusing a small, depressing book/pamphlet type thing called "Welcome to Doomsday" by Bill Moyers. fun times.

I'm currently reading The Bible and The Sight at the same time both awesome books yet both can also be boring at the same time.

Nice one. Yeah my girlfriend is a mad Neal Stephenson fan, she's got all his books here. I'll get onto Quicksilver next I think. Also, if you liked Weaveworld, I heartily recommend Perdido Street Station By China Miéville if you haven't read it. It's a whole new level of dark fantasy.
