Haruki Murakami who wrote stuff like Norwegian Wood and Kafka On The Shore..
where there is loss, alienation, emptiness, there can still be hope...
what kinds of books do u like to read?
speaking of books,any cult fiction to intro?like HP Lovecraft.
The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf (1991)
The woman who
made feminism sexy by being gorgeous and shaving her legs also taught
her readers to eat a hearty meal. This book argues that a cult of
thinness has desexualised and disempowered women just when, after the
acceptance of free love and the introduction of the contraceptive pill,
the opposite should have happened. The most important feminist text of
the past 20 years.
The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield (1993)
Deep in the South American jungle an intrepid explorer is about to
stumble on a sequence of ancient prophecies that could change our way
of living, even save the world. If only we didn’t have to buy the other
novels in that the series to find out what they were! For a similar
effect on the cheap, rent an Indiana-Jonesalike film – Tomb Raider, say
– and ask a hippy to whisper nonsense in your ear while you're watching
it.
The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln (1982)
Similar
territory to The Da Vinci Code but earlier, less balefully stupid and
with the nerve to claim factual accuracy (its authors took Dan Brown to
court and lost). The usual song and dance about Templars, bloodlines of
Christ and global conspiracies, but somehow still chilling for all
that. Staple text of the bonkers brigade.
No Logo by Naomi Klein (2000)
Few books have
caught a political moment better than Naomi Klein’s stylish and
impassioned report on the abuses of brands, and the activists who fight
them. It was published in 2000, just as "antiglobalisation" crashed
into the mainstream, and Klein was adopted as its poster-girl.
