>>>I suspect we will never agree about writers. You really read those two gloomsters in high schoolfor pleasure? Heck, you may as well throw in the Marquis de Sade and hit the trifecta ;-) Influence, certainly. But for pleasure? Really?

>>>There is one Nietzsche quotation I really like, and I'm sure you can guess which one. Still, not the same thing as reading him for pleasure.

>>One of my favourite quotes (not only from Nietzsche but in general) is "I am Zarathustra the godless, who says “Who is more godless than I, that I may rejoice in his teaching?" It has been my favorite since high school, and I also read it for pleasure among others like Bertrand Russel, Kafka, Borges, and yes... The Marquis! Sadly, everything is a blur now, except Borges that I keep reading it from time to time

>I have a really good collection of the works of Borges (translated into English) which I am sad to say I have not gotten to yet. It's bookshelfware, bragware. That's bad on me so I just made a note on my to-do list to read it.

>For whatever it's worth, the book I am reading now is "Rogue Island." It's an award runner up I was tipped off to by Amazon. It's fun to read, a great page turner.

I started reading this last night:
http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Wires-Adventures-Worlds-Wanted/dp/0316037702
I only had a few minutes to read so I'm a whopping 25 pages into the book - but so far it seems ok.
