The reason for this post is shameless, but I thought it might make for some good discussion. (I have an Amazon gift certificate burning a hole in my virtual pocket, & I’m dying to put it to good use.)

Let’s talk about BOOKS! What have you read recently that you would recommend? What are you clamouring to get your hands on? What’s your favourite book of all time?

I personally really like to read about fashion, style, marketing, business, breaking rules, art, interesting social or psychological phenomena, self-development & horoscopes (haha!). I don’t read a lot of fiction these days, but my favourite authors are Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Anais Nin, Erica Jong, Francesca Lia Block, Bret Easton Ellis, Haruki Murakami & Vladimir Nabokov. (I also sometimes feel like the only person in the world who doesn’t adore Chuck Palahniuk or Irvine Welsh, & that’s okay with me!)

Go on then, be persuasive! What do you love? What book do you fervently recommend to your friends?
