see I didn't really like Fahrenheit 451, and didn't really like Bradbury that much as a result, then I read The Martian Chronicles, and positively fell in love with it
I should warn you: I have weird tastes for things
Samgotit:
Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse-Five, what an amazing book (told you I'd hate my choices within a few hours!)
but Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged, ehhhhhhhhhhh (I think I've just seen the book too disected and Rand too worshipped to appreciate the book as a book, this same thing ruined Shakespeare and almost ruined Wilde for me, also makes Harper Lee and James Joyce hard to read for enjoyment)
oh, and another extension of "I'd hate my choices":
Ernest Hemmingway - The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories
Ernest Hemmingway - The Old Man and The Sea (I don't care if its suggested reading for 90% of highschool freshman, its still a good book)
yeah, I'm indecisive
