Very convenient. There's nothing quite so exillerating as using long chunks of dialogue to beat your point to death. Ayn Rand would be proud.

Quirky stream of conciousness, but enjoyable nonetheless.

For a story which dwells so centrally on pain and suffering, it manages to inspire and exude hope.

Classic. Well. Sorta. More of a bastardasation of a bunch of classics, but in a hilarious way.

If you ever happen to be feeling down on your luck, I highly suggest reading the first of these plays, Oedipus the King and comparing yourself to him.

Not quite as good as Kite Runner, but that may be because they are of a similar nature and I read Kite Runner first. The old Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead effect.

At any rate, certainy worth reading.

Sci-fi that even people who don't read sci-fi will enjoy. Any story where a computer becomes a sentient being is pretty great in my book.

Someone, please take away this man's thesaurus.

A fun enough read except for the part in the middle that felt like a chapter-long Tesla commercial. That, and when the book spends the first 80% teasing a big reveal and the reveal turns out to be an uninspired let down, you begin to wonder if you really liked the first 80%.

The closest comparison I can come to the absurdity of the plot is probably Douglas Adams... that's not to say the writing is as good or the absurdity is as entertaining, but in a pinch, when you've read Hitchiker's Guide 5 times already, try this.

A fun new take on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which is fantastic to start out with.

The best part about this particular book is the author's name.

For a book about genetics, it's surprisingly dissapointing....

I would find literally opening the mythical land of Atlantis easier than opening the pages of this book again.

Highly entertaining collection of essays regarding pop-culture and the like. A good book to read when you can only read for 10 minutes at a time.

Nothing special, but it's still a fast-paced interesting book. The equivalent of brain candy.

Ever wonder what a novel made exclusively out of YouTube comments would look like? I've got good news...

Possibly the only book in the humor genre to tackle the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany. Points for that alone.

Slightly more interesting than you'd imagine a book about trading coffee would be.
