Title sums it up. Shoot me some book suggestions. They can be anything from classics to graphic novels. If you could give a short description, that'd be awesome!

    Thanks, Pink. :)
  • John Kennedy Tool's masterpiece A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES. You will NOT be disappointed as it is one of the best books of the last century. In addition, Jonathan Lethem's MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN proves equally hilarious and noiriish. Finally, Bill Bryson's A WALK IN THE WOOD, a non-ficiton account of a long walk he took with his whiny ovrweight temperamental friend.
