evildrneil   14 #97 Posted August 4, 2004 Originally posted by Phanerothyme To shock your world out of comfortable slumber I'd recommend "prometheus rising" by Robert Anton Wilson (dont be put off by the cover).  Wilson is a fab writer - I would also recomend Quantum Psychology and of course the Illuminatus Trillogy as both good reads and exercises in creative and inspired wierdness!!!  In a similar sort of vein you may also like to try the Jerry Cornelius novels by Michael Moorcock?  How about reading some Raymond Chandler or Dashiel Hammet for some good hardboiled gumshoe action, Laurel K Hamilton (though only the first 3 or so of her vampire hunter series as they go downhill rapidly after that!) for a different take on fantasy and if you can lower yourself to comics/graphic novels The Invisibles and The Watchmen are both excellent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

JoeP Â Â 11 #102 Posted October 12, 2004 "The Writer's Journey" by Christopher Vogler. Â It's a 'how to' book for scriptwriters and novellists about applying 'the hero's journey' to creative writing. Explains how it can be used to help improve scripts. Â Also 'the Dilbert Future' by Scott Adams. Just funny. Â Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

GazB Â Â 10 #104 Posted October 12, 2004 I've just read the autoboigraphy of Roy "Prettyboy" Shaw and thought it was amazing. He reminds me of myself in alot of ways, except I'm nowhere near as extreme. Â 10/10 for me, but that's because it's my kind of book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
