Maybe this is fantasy, maybe this is Halloween... So, the "favourite music" thread was like the second thread ever to be posted in this guild, we have a "favourite TV show" thread, we have a "favourite movie" thread, we have a "favourite video game" thread... we even have a "favourite drunken moments" thread rofl
... But, does anyone actually read anymore? eek
Post your favourite books &/or your favourite writers [remember that "writers" means they don't have to just be "authors"; you can mention poets, philosophers, guys who write essays... whatever].
I'll start 4laugh
Kayla's Favourite Books (Novels): Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Diary of a Drug Fiend by Aleister Crowley, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, etc. etc.
Kayla's Favourite Writers: William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, T.S. Eliot, Hunter S. Thompson, Sylvia Plath, Walt Whitman, Aldous Huxley, Dostoevsky, David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, etc. etc. Maybe it's a memory, wrapped in purple lights...
