I don't read much.
I really liked "1984" by Orwell and "Heart of Darkness" by Conrad. Cliche choices, yes; but like I said, I don't read much.
However, I simply adore Poe. They way he uses syntax and imagery in his stories... God, it's just great. He just puts you right there in his own bizarre little world. His poetry is excellent, as well. It's always nice to talk to people who are familiar with Poe's poetry beyond "The Raven." The rhythm... to die for. "Israfel" and "The Bells" are two of my favorite poems ever. EVER, you fools!
