The book recommendation thread

<p>So yeah, thinking of heading out to B&N because I needed a new book. Problem- I don't really know that to get. I have some ideas, but maybe the cultured people of CC could give me their opinions.</p>

<p>I was planning on either getting Choke or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but I'm also looking for something more thought-inducing (can't think of a better word- hence my need to read!) Any ideas, whether in the vein of my first choices or what I described? Quick answers get extra thanks. Also, anyone else can ask for some recommendations if they're in a similar situation, this isn't the disasterpiece show.</p>

<p>If by thought inducing you mean books that are mind ****s, then I highly suggest you pickup something by Pynchon. Also, after I read V. I took the ACT and got a 35 on reading because the passages were so lulzy with only like 1-2 things to keep track of.</p>
