hiya. you don't know me, but I found you randomly, so hi. I definitely reccomend finishing The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, first of all! :) and ANYTHING else by Douglas Adams (especially Hitchhiker's, and also Long Dark Teatime of the Soul). he's awesome. always great for a laugh. and, as for the others, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is really good, as is anything by J.D. Salinger.
I would reccomend more to you but I don't know you so I don't know what you're into. :P personally, I'm reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky at the moment, and it's really good so far. I finished From the Dust Returned by Ray Bradbury recently, that was an awesome one... hmm... That's all I can think of. :)

Lol. I actually do know you. Aubrey, right? This is yotarou, haha. Hello! Nice seeing you around the internets :P

Yeaaah, J.D. Salinger's a pretty good author. I read only 1 1/2 of his books -- Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey. First one I liked but the time frame confused me, and the second was just... confusing, all of it, heh.

And... SKDLFJsD:LKFJWE!1111 I LOVE PERKS. x1000000, seriously. The main character is soooo sweeeeet.. and it's so cute... and sad and inspiring all at the same time!! Omg. :D I ♥ it!

Ray Bradbury is awesome. I read part of this big fat red book of collected stories, Illustrated Man, and another that I forgot. Do you read any of Kurt Vonnegut? Because I love him. Very, very much. And Augusten Burroughs.

OH, haha! hey!! how funny. good to see you around again.

Ray Bradbury is indeed awesome. I saw him when I went to a comic convention in San Diego last year. :D AND, YES! WOO! Kurt Vonnegut is DEFINITELY one of my favorite authors... he's freakin' awesome. Never heard of Augusten Burroughs though.. shall check him out. ^_^

WTF! Not fair! I am so jealous now! Ahhhhhhh.... *falls into pit of envy* Did you get a signature??

Augusten Burroughs is a gay man who writes memoirs, and they are so hilarious. I'd recommend Running With Scissors or Magical Thinking. Also, his brother, William S. Burroughs, was one of the uh... Lost Generation people or something. I've forgotten but he's famous for his abstract-ness, I think, and his works definitely are worth taking look at, even if you can't understand some or all of it [like me :P].

hehe, no, unfortunately. we just got to watch a panel where Forrest J Ackerman, this other guy, and Ray Bradbury answered questions from an interviewer type guy.

a gay man who writes hilarious memoirs??? that sounds awesome. thanks, I'm totally writing those books on my Books to Read list. ^_^
