"glue" - Irvine welsh (my fave irvine welsh novel (having read them all) combines hedonism, reality and friendship.)
"Wild swans" - jung chang ( a factual book written in the perspect of 3 generations of chinese ladies up until, during and after the commie-revoloution...excellent read)
"Guard! guard!" - Terry Pratchet (fictional 'fantasy' comedy, so cleverly written, i p[ck up new joke every time I re-read it)

1. Crime and Punishment (Dostojevski) - student kills an old nagging landlord with an ax! I chopped wood as a madman after that.
2. The Metamorphosis (Kafka) - a man turns into a big bug. A sad (short) story. I liked
Der Prozess (The Trial) more.
Great books! Gimme some more reading suggestions.
