    If you like Walter Mitty, check out Thurber's story collection.
    Obviously Bukowki's novels and short stories if you like Barfly.
    Fight Club's Chuck Palahniuk has written several novels.
    Permanent Midnight? Maybe some ALF scripts?

    Ha! I can't help it. Pedagogy was the life for me. I personally hated going to school, but I like the other side of the desk.

  • If your goal, as you stated, is to express yourself more poetically, then reading (or listening to people read) will not be enough. Learning to write, while influenced by being well read, is a different skill. Instead, you might want to spend more time writing.

    Some suggestions:

    • Start a journal and write in it every day.
    • Force yourself to write. Select random topics, or ones that you want to write about, and write.
    • Select some of the writings you feel good about and re-write them.
    • Share your writing with others and get their feedback.
    • Make notes about words and phrases that resonate with you. If you like the way something was written, ask your self why. Was it the sentence structure, the use of descriptive language, or the ability of the author to connect you with their theme?

    Writing is like music. I can listen to music all day long, but that isn’t going to help me create music unless I also practice writing music. Music will influence me, help me discover what I do and don’t like, but it won’t make me a composer.

  • The Miseducation of Cameron Post.

    It's a surprisingly funny book about a girl who gets sent to a Christian gay-conversion camp where most of the kids aren’t all that interested in being converted.

    The movie just came out, so to speak, this week. It will be fun to see if the movie can pull off the tricky balancing acts that are handled so well in the book.

  • Love me some Raymond Carver. Short stories and poems that reveal the underbelly of it all.

  • Yes but what do we talk about when we talk about love though Supa? :)

    Voltaire = Candide

    Foucault’s Pendulum = Umberto Eco

    Both pretty heavy, yet educational, and most importantly, a fun read!

    Still can’t believe neither book has been made into a major motion picture, they read almost like screenplays.

  • Cool, thanks Max, I’ll look for that.

    Very cool book, keeps getting more and more bizarre.

    And, you learn some cool conspiracy stuff too!

    House of leaves is a good one, try reading it on a bus or train and people around you will become uneasy!

    Watchmen is another that's well worth reading, the film adaptation doesn't do it any justice.

  • When I was in my teens I read quite a few of Philip K Dick’s books, as well as some Brian Aldiss, Asimov, and similar. A decade or two later, a lot of popular culture’s cinema and film output would prove to derive from those sources.

    Funnily, though, I read nearly zero fiction at all in my adult life (although in my 30s I did go through a phase of ‘reading’ Love & Rockets, the excellent graphic novel series from the Hernandez brothers).

    Pass the gin, and THEN we can talk.

    Yes, great advice @DYMS

    Also @JohnnyGoodyear makes a fine point about stoking the fire. I’d read something entertaining and fun to begin with, that isn’t much work and that you’ll resent having to put down when responsibilities beckon. Work up your muscles before lifting the heavyweights.

    I admire Reggie Watts. Aside from his musical chops, I'm drawn to the stand up comics' perspective. But Reggie Watts sometimes goes on these esoterically philosophical rants that have this silly ending, as if to say "I'm intelligent, but I don't take myself seriously".

    Based on this, maybe some Vonnegut - ‘Breakfast of Champions’ isn’t a bad place to begin. Keep going, it’s a worthwhile endeavour :)

  • The book of Disquiet - Fernando Pessoa

  • Philip K Dick was mentioned. From his prolific imagination I jumped into the thrilling worlds of Christopher Priest and Iain M Banks. Very highly recommended regardless of genre.

    I always find William Trevor moving.

    Paul Bowles took me to new places.

    Cormac McCarthy made me cry on a night bus in Peckham. Not a good look.

    Norman Mailer’s Ancient Evenings took over my dreams.

    Isabelle Allende added her special magic.

    Anyway, it was a great question for an interesting thread. So many amazing novelists to find out about. I need to get back into reading fiction!
