So it's time to start a new book, the following are books I have that I've yet to read:
Some Guy - The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night Time Douglas Coupland - JPod William Burroughs - Naked Lunch All the Booker 2007 nominees - http://www.reviewsofbooks.com/booker/ Jean Paul Sartre - Nausea
Alternative suggestions also welcome.

Well I stayed up all night on the internet last night, so I didn't read anything, but I guess I'll start Nausea today, seeing as it's proved the most controversial.

well good luck with Sartre. 'I detested her. We drank a coffee. She spoke of trifles. I attempted unsuccessfully to swallow my own tongue.'

Thats the one. Its completely different from everything else I've ever read, but its still a very interesting book. And its a pretty short book. You could probably finish it in one night if you read all night like I end up doing Read it.
Sartre is tough going. Not sure if it's the translation I have or just his writing style, but it doesn't really draw you in or motivate you to continue reading much. Heavycola seems to have provided a pretty concise summary.
When I finish that I'll start curious incident... it looks a lot more accessible.

Whatever you do, don't read Burroughs. Unless, of course, you're a homosexual pedophile with an addiction to opiates, then it might be right up your alley.
