It is quite possible I might actually have free time soon. Thus, I am looking for a recommendation for a book. Who better to ask than the always enthusiastic readers of Taijitu? Normally I would explain my preferences, but to keep things interesting I will refrain from doing so. I will read the first thing that someone suggests (that I have not already read).

Cain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain_%28novel%29)

Finnegans Wake.

I guess I'll get to that once I finish Finnegan's Wake (thanks Myroria) and Cain (thanks Delfos, sincerely).

Hansell's Dragon (http://hereandabove.com/books/HansellsDragon/HDcontents.html)
And it has an awesome sequel (if you're interested): Hansell's Hope (http://hereandabove.com/books/HansellsHope/HH01.html)
McMasterdonia, I do not believe your suggestion counts. A specific article might qualify.

The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
H.P. Lovecraft (nuff said.)

playboy
the bible
Zoo magazine

The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
H.P. Lovecraft (nuff said.)
All strongly seconded

So many things to read now :(

I decided to break my promise and start with Worm first. Why does it have to be so long...
I think it may be time to switch to something shorter, like Finnegan's Wake.

Haha try The Mists of Avalon next. :-P

Sandstorm by James Rollins

Why not try Jack Vance!
For anyone interested in worldbuilding and the developement of human society he has a lot to offer. The Araminta Station trilogy or the Demon Princes series are amazing. Nightlamp and the Alastor cluster series as well... Actually all his later works are fantastic... :-P

Oh no more long things. Why can't you people recommend the Cat in the Hat or something.
Just to prove this wasn't all an empty promise: I've put Worm on hold about 75% through and am currently making an attempt to clear through some of the other suggestions.

"Conceptually radical . . . making the refreshing and contrarian case that words alone have sensory and imaginative vibrancy to spare."—Mark Levine, The New York Times Book Review
I love book reviews.

Murakami has been on my list of authors to read for a while now. I really should read one of his books.

sometimes it's not so easy to read, I think he skips or shortens some of the socio or psychological descriptions in favor of listing a bunch of basic distinctions between characters, it's complicated if your book's translator chose willingly to keep the original names.
I've been trying to read a Murakami that is my bed-stand's choice, when I go some place I have a couple of other choices, a book about public space management (cultural, political, etc) and a Tolstoy book that I found about Chechnya and a "leader" that unites with the Muscovites (yeah, another hidden russie pride).
