I really like The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, 1984 by George Orwell, and Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I also appreciate the works of dudes like Arthur C. Clarke, H.G. Wells, Clive Barker, and Stephen King. Oh, and of course Poe, and Burroughs rule. I've been wanting to give Pynchon a shot... I think it's funny how popular Palahniuk got for a second, and now he's totally "uncool". He may be somewhat of a one-trick pony, but he does his trick well, and his voice is sinister. I also think David Wellington is quite the talent.
Horror/Sci-fi novels mostly.
