Hermann Hesse is incredible. If you haven't touched his stuff, I recommend diving in head first. A real good story is Sidhartha. |

Piers Anthony he wrote the book that ended up being the movie "Total Recall" |

Actually, Piers Anthony adapted the screenplay into novel form to coincide with the film, the story itself is originally derived from a Phillip K. Dick short-story called "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" This was in keeping with Dick's favourite theme of the real versus the unreal and how blurry the lines between can become My two favorite Anthony works are the Icarnations_of_Immortality series and what i have managed to read of the Bio_of_a_space_tyrant series |

Oh definatly Tolkien. He draws inspiration from so many different situations and points of view in life. In return he gives us books with different genres appealing to different tastes. Totaly inspirational. |

thomas pynchon (for gravity's rainbow) hakim bey (for all i've read) william s. burroughs (for bursts of brilliant insight) salman rushdie (for midnight's children) possibly haruki murakami, though i've only read pinball 1973, so far. and i should mention robert anton wilson, for altering the collective unconsciousness in a most amusing way. |

as it sits right now, if i could only bring one box of books to some isolated island somewhere, i imagine there'd be some stuff in there by the likes of rick_bass, lucia_berlin, bobbie_louise_hawkins, catie rosemurgy, ashleigh_bryant_phillips, scott_mcclanahan, william faulkner, cormac_mccarthy, carolyn forche, betsy trumpener, ron loewinsohn, and a couple dog-eared stephen king paperbacks for good measure. but hell, i'd tape more books to my body under my clothes if there wasn't room on the raft for a second box. |
