    so so so so many to choose from but for probably been one of the hardest books to read but so satisfying when you finish it i think its gonna have to be the illuminati trilogy by robert shea and robert anton wilson

    possibly the biggest mindphuck of a book ever in my opinion

    May well end up being Proust's In Search of Lost Time - I'm reading it at the moment and it is amazing!

    Make sure to check out Glamorama, It's my favourite book ever. Victor is an even better character than Pat Bateman.

    Other favourites are The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides,
    Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney
    Catch 22 by Joseph Heller
    The catcher in the Rye by Sallinger
