lol, can't believe this: i just spent the last hour teaching my physics teacher about how to get around macrovision protection and use P2P programs, as well as make a deal to swap some music and help our mutual collections grow. i hope this is some kind of foreshadowing of college :D

but you haven't said why you have these special authors... why do they hold rank among others, eh?
Nephilim - Franz Kafka - why?
Auslander - J.D. Salinger - why?
ddp - david drake - why?

Why Franz Kafka? It's the demented and surreal subject matter used to point out very common and very real human inadequacies. His social insight is spot on and very poignant. Alot of folks feel his writing style is too dry but that's exactly what I love about it. It's very proper, very well constructed and has an almost clinical detatchment which I love.
Many highschoolers have read a watered down and edited version of "Metamorphosis" but to get the real flavor and impact of the story it must be the unabridged version. There's a bit of Gregor Samsa in us all ;)

goodness gracious... I got a crisp hyphenated response from ddp, a nuff said from Auslander and the expected from Nephilim... a fully anecdotal analysis with oratory surmise. Very well done Nephilim. You get 112% <g>
@ GrandpaBW - I have read many Dean R Koontz and I too like his style. I have read a lot of Stephen King as well, most recently his 7 book Dark Tower/Gunslinger series which is refreshingly wonderful reading and not horror at all - more midworld/western - inspired by Robert Browning's "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came".
I will tell you that is is good, very much worth reading. Do read the series in sequence, however, it starts with the "Dark Tower I - The Gunslinger".
Enjoy, all of you!
