The Fool's Progress by Edward Abbey
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
The Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy (some of it takes place in Mexico)
A Happy Death by Albert Camus (call me a hipster for liking Camus, but this book rules. Some of it takes place on a beach)
Keep the Aspidistra Flying by Orwell
Anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I'm into reading something that matches the landscape I am in at the time.

"Tao Te Ching"-Lao Tzu
"First and Last Freedom"-Jiddu Krishnamurti
"The ph Miracle"-Dr. Robert Young
"Wisdom of the Ancients- A dictionary of the occult"-Lobsang Rampa
"Matrix III, Volume One: The Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological and Electromagnetic Manipulation of Human Consciousness"-Valdamar Valerian--(Kinda tough to come across this one, but should be easy to download,and although I do not agree with every thing this man says,it's definitely an insane read for sure.

Arthur C Clarke -
Rendezvous with Rama
2001 a space odyssey
(2 of my favorite books of all time. Really imaginative sci fi
Stephen King - the gunslinger/dark tower series (more really weird sci fi/ fantasy)

i just read the gunslinger so im definitely going to continue with that series. i dont like reading a series straight in a row though because sometimes i can get bored, so i mix it up with other books in between

I would read the Hunger Games, because it was a really good book and I would imagine is a pretty decent movie.

Last Exit to Brooklyn by Huebert Selby Jr or if you just want a really easy funny read get Youth In Revolt by C.D. Payne, its way better than the movie.
