House of Leaves
by Mark Z. Danielewski
(An amazing read, fascinating on so many different levels. Although I felt that it tried to force a deeper meaning at times, the levels, end notes and footnotes made it an extremely enjoyable read {multiple times})
"Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth -- musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies -- the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children."-http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24800.House_of_Leaves
Betting on The Muse
by Charles Bukowski
(Bukowski is one of my favorite people in the world simply for his unapologetic postures. He's harmlessly blunt, rude and offensive, and yet entertaining at the same time.)
"Betting on the Muse is a combination of hilarious poetry and stories. Charles Bukowski writes about the real life of a working man and all that comes with it."-http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/betting-on-the-muse-charles-bukowski/1100609697?ean=9781574230017
