Seriously this is a good read -

It's a book on story construction, but you can apply a lot of the anecdotes to various other aspects of life.

Good book to help writers, I'll read it.

1/ Crime and Punishement - Dostoievski
2/ The brave new world - Huxley
3/ The stranger - Camus
4/ The trial - Kafka
5/ Dirty Hands - Sartre
6/ Civilization and Its Discontents - Freud
7/ Father and sons- Tourgueniev
8/ Dead souls - Gogol
9/ 1983 - Orwell
10/ Naked lunch- Burroughs

Definitely could add Bukowski to the list. I had alot of fun reading him and it's the easiest writer to read. You'd have a great laugh, guy was a getbigger.
Would like to add Karl Marx and Engels up there.

It takes a month of regular reading. It's something to start at october. Now the spring is coming you guys need to surround yourself by optimistic writings and short stories.
