Apocalypse Now is film at its best. just...just don't argue.
btw, (now that i've found this thread) Camus is amazing.
my list (in no particular order):
Ayn Rand - Anthem and Atlas Shrugged
Franz Kafka - In the Penal Colony, the Metamorphosis, and the unfinished Description of a Struggle
Aldous Huxley - Brave New World, and The Doors of Perception
Oscar Wilde - any of his short stories; they all make me want to cry, but they all tap into humanity so damn well
Tom Robbins - Another Roadside Attraction
William Peter Blatty - Legion
Milan Kundera - The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Lois Lowry - The Giver
Edward Gorey - the Gashleycrumb Tinies
Robert Irwin - Exquisite Corpse (omfg, such an amazing piece of unrecognized literature)
Chuck Paulaniuk - Survivor (and possibly Fight Club, i haven't decided yet)
anything by Bill Waterson or Berke Breathed
Gabriela Garcia Marquez - 100 Years of Solitude
F. Scott Fitzgerald - the Great Gatsby
Stephen King - the Shining
mygod; i only intended to ramble off a couple, but it seems as if i've overdrawn my account of what should and shouldn't be.
also: if you really want hilarious periodicals, consult:
Stuff, for Men
the sarcastic pineapple will make you wet yourself.
