Five books.

[Anonymous No.1675634]

If you could read only 5 books, for the rest of your life what would they be? and why ?

I think mine would be.
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
Prayers For Rain by Dennis Lehane
Post Office by Charles Bukowski
Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut

Dennis Lehane was the reason i started reading.
American Psycho, because it left me in awe but disgusted at the same time.
Slaughterhouse 5 is just a brilliant book, that i think i could read over and over and not get bored.
Fight Club just because it's a favourite of mine.

the bible. I'm not religious but in terms of themes and metaphors and mythologies, you can't really be "literate" without knowing it.
