Oh, yeah, did anyone mention Kurt Vonnegut? And the guy who wrote the Milagro Beanfield War

The only book that I read and actually enjoyed/thought about recently was Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.
I just picked up Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. I'm really excited about reading this, I read the first chapter of it a long time ago and it was really interesting. I also got 1984 by George Orwell.
