You're working in research? Or did you mean amateur reading? I'm genuinely curious; I work in physics research. Actually, it would be interesting to see what kind of work/studying people here do. Maybe I ought to make a topic.. Yep, just answer there.

I've read a couple from your collection. Good list. I think I need to copy yours down. :)

What books from my favs have you read?

How has reading this book improved you in daily life?

Every writer has spin, but the difference between unreliable narration and normal writing is that what we're reading isn't necessarily what is actually going on in the story itself. Instead of looking on the scene, we're seeing it as they see it literally. It gives us a reason to doubt what the narrator is saying within it's own setting.

I've seen the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but never thought to read the book. I bet it's even better than the film?

It's a case of unreliable narrator, so naturally I was a fan. It's worth a look.

The movie "Lolita" with Jeremy Irons and Dominique Swain is pretty good, too. And of course, Clockwork Orange directed by Kubrick. I like to compare movies with books...

And I forgot to mention One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey. Great film, great book, too.
