Not sure it it really fits but
Pattern Recognition by William Gibson.
Read it for my RL book club and was the only person who really got it because a lot of it is forum related. I swear there were archetypal members of the litnet in that book. :nod:

Whichever is available.

I was very tempted to nominate Peanuts but will save it for Christmas probably.
Please, not On the Road!
:(
Oooh at least 2 comics/graphic books on that list :nod:
Please, not On the Road!

I voted for that one-I haven't read it yet! I think it's unamerican not to have read "On the Road"! :p
But what about those of us who are not Americans (and have already read the book)?

What's so bad about On the Road? I've never read it..
I'd love Watchmen or The Glass-Bead Game to make it...
