A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
Slaughterhouse five by fucking kurt got damn vonnegut
The motherfucking collected god damn works of David Foster Wallace
And Raymond Carver. Sorry, he's still a fucking champion, I mean, I like David Sedaris, don't get me wrong. But, Carver's style it fucking clean and unpretentious. He's the Hemingway of the 80s. But, he is still no David Foster Wallace.

I'd like to suggest another book. It's called "Sex Slaves: The Trafficking of Women in Asia". It's incredibly informative and taught me so many new things. From reading this book, I found out that Japan has the most sex slaves of any other country.

EXACTLY my sentiments. You hear about the reporter at the start of the book then at the start of each persons interview, then it seeps off into their eye witness accounts. Unless....this book has a massive budget and can afford to film at any location on earth and hire as many actors as they want?
