Next in line (as in Ive bought too many books and need to read them, haha):
1984, George Orwell
Atlas Shrugged, Ayrn Rand
The Picture of Dorian Grey, Oscar Wilde
Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card
Spook Country, William Gibson
A friend of mine swears by The Picture of Dorian Grey, says its his favorite novel ever. Anyone have recommendations as far as finding a novel as (i havent read it) enthralling and amazing, and stylistically similar to it?
Right now I'm in the middle of Lolita.

Rereading...
Venus im Pelz Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
What becomes essential is waiting or suspense as a plenitude,
as a physical and spiritual intensity. The rituals of suspension
become the novelistic figures par excellence, with regard to both
the woman-torturer who suspends her gesture, and the hero-victim
whose suspended body awaits the whip. Masoch is the writer who
makes suspense, in its pure and almost unbearable state, the
motivating force of the novel.

I red it, it helps figurating some faces of his personality.
Actually the racism's more a consequence of the isolation of his mind. He was just scared of all the other persons surrounding him outside, excepted his own people.
Anyway, still one of my favourite writers.

Yeah, sounds good Cabl3, would love some discussion up in here. My sister adores A picture of Dorian Grey, says it's her favorite. I'm extremely excited for it as well.
I'm not too excited by Atlas Shrugged (since I'm a romantic), but I believe that I'm at the point of my life where I should read it and see what the thought processes are like. It's a bit of a test of character really.
