Virilio's desert screen is probably a good place to go if you enjoy Baudrillard on the gulf. Personally, I think both are unmitigated tripe, but that's not to say you won't.

Read a book called Finding Alaska. It was in the bargain bin for $5 and bought it on a whim and it was fantastic. Young writer. Would like to read more of his stuff.

Currently reading Great Sky River by Gregory Benford, which is much better than the somewhat cheesy title.

Good book and I know at least Atari will agree with me. I personally preferred Notes from underground but it's still great. Have you read any of his other stuff?

In my opinion it has, next to the Outsider, the best opening line in any book EVER. I smell a new thread! Not read any of old Nieztsche boy yet but I do know one thing. His name is a fucking bitch to write.

hahaha I've been spelling it over and over lately (he's come up a lot in internet discussions.
Nietzsche, Nietzsche, Nietzsche, Nietzsche, Nietzsche. I haven't read much of his work yet either, aside from a bunch of poems/bits of books at work (I work in a book store). Really, REALLY awersome stuff, I'd say to look into him if yr into philosophy, but also poetry and just all-around great writing.

See now this is the thing *rant alert* I can never find myself able to completly read a philosphical book. It feels, to me, like one massive drone and it feels that they're basically saying "these are my ideas now accept them" and I can't bloody well answer back disagreeing or agreeing with the writer so I just get all angry and flustered (man that sounded camp) and just throwing the book aside but I will give Nietcheese a try.
