Ahhh, good tastes!

I love Chesterton too. I've recently bought a book of his tales, Ive not read yet. "The sea, the sea" is a nice book (a bit psicological for me, hehe. I havent read Stephenson yet but I'm waiting to do (I have Daimond age and Azogue waiting)¿what do you suggest? snow crash is much better than that? I read some sci-fi stuff, ballard is another interesting weird guy, "a voyage to arcturus" by david lindsay is a proto-scifi great journey. I've started the Dante book, but is really boring, I suppose not reading in his original language make no sense. I'm still finishing Fausto XD. OK, with classics I refer to modern classics as well, like chesterton, dickens, hawthorne or kafka. I forgot to mention Irish one: do you know Flann O'brienn? If you like Chesterton you'll love him. I suggest to read Borges "personal library" and take everyname is there and read it, one of the best guides to read aswell "Occidental canon" by harold bloom. I envy you, you can read in english because there's tones of american and english books not translated yet in my idiom... Your country is the best in terms of actual good writing and amount of real talent...Think of Pynchon, delillo, crowley, mccarthy, to name only my favorites, and your classic ones, the sci-fi, fantasy, etc...
