What shall I read next? posted by Dave on Monday, November 2, 1998, at 14:37:01:
> _Stranger in a Strange Land_ by Robert A. Heinlein A classic and SHOULD be read.
> _The Caves of Steel_ by Isaac Asimov Weak for Asimov (I thought)
> _Helliconia Spring_ by Brian W. Aldiss Don't know this one; worth trying!
> _The Mote In God's Eye_ by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle Don't know, but Niven rarely impresses me.
> _Fear_ by L. Ron Hubbard ARGGH! EVIL! (actually, I liked Battlefield Earth)
> _Lord of the Flies_ by William Golding Must be read, and accompanied by much listening to U2's "Boy" album!
> _The Picture of Dorian Grey_ by Oscar Wilde My vote goes here, however. Wilde kicks ass. This, being his most popular, is a great place to start. If you were to have a write in, I'd suggest Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum", Haruki Murakami's "Wind Up Bird Chronicle" or M. Gira's "The Consumer" (probably the most disturbing/disgusting book you'll ever read!).
