Aldous Huxley's

A Brave New World...

Fuck me, it also came with a pair of 3D glasses for the cover! An absolute bargain at $14.99 from the airport. The story itself is quite dated but still amusing and relevant...

a fantastic novel, easily in my top 5. people like to think of the coming totalitarian world as that of Orwell's 1984, 'a boot forever smashing onto a human face', but in fact our destruction will be from excess; of sex, and drugs, and easy jobs and NO READING. its already happening....

as for me, lots for my disseration.
Wuthering Heights (even though i was supposed to be done wuth it by now)
then The Essence of the Brontes by Muriel Spark
followed Maddening Ideology by Zizek
and to round that all off Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams

busy, busy... but all i wanna do is get drunk :/

progression is key, why the cmc though? are you working your way through the classics?

because I loved it as a kid and I wish to re-read it

That and it has an eloquence of being able to go through so much action, and each scene/chapter transition is seamless.

I re-read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead already.

I recently read War and Peace and I fell in love with it, but it'll be many years before I desire to re-read it

I'm also working on writing my novel
