Thanks!

That’s a novel idea, I’ll give you that. However, I’m not looking for more of the same, if you know what I mean.

Thanks!

Third Pynchon mention. This dude is my guy.

Great reply and questions.

I’ll look into Sharpe. I am not easily offended, and can understand humor within historical context.

I do have a preference for contemporary and current authors, but only because I’m interested in modern/popular culture.

If I had to narrow down what I’m specifically looking for, it would be works that are less fantasy/sci-fi and more “What the fuck did I just read?” To me that’s the appeal of authors like Ryu and Haruki Murakami and Palahniuk: they’re masters of absurdly crazy and impossible scenarios, that somehow still feel plausible. While the Murakamis are more serious, they are more fantastical. Palahniuk is great about keeping things based in reality, but with copious amounts of gross-out moments and ridiculous characters.

Sounds like you might be smelling what I’m cooking.

Oops, wrong God. I’m adding this one to my list. Thank you.

Thanks!

Thanks!

SCP is definitely a fun project. Great recommendation.

You’re the second person to suggest Pynchon. Sounds like I really need to check them out.

Thank you!

Admittedly, I have not read Discworld yet. Thank you for the reminder, adding to my list as we speak.

Thanks, I shant peek!

Hitchhikers Guide is a classic!

No, thank you for the recommendation.

Great recommendations and synopsis, thank you

Thanks!

Classic.

I have two:

The City of Lost Children (French)

Pan’s Labyrinth (Spanish)

This is me. I have made some very expensive fuck-ups at work and lost my job several times because of my forgetfulness or missing details. Thankfully I’m medicated now, but the fear and anxiety is still deeply ingrained in me. I am the livelihood of my family. I pay our bills, the mortgage, car payments and insurance. Any mistake could mean my family and I will need to start hunting for the nicest bridge to live under.
