STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS

---

On advice of counsel, David recommends the following...

Gun, with Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem

It's like Chandler on mind-alterers; just watch your karma level, okay?

Neuromancer by William Gibson.

A.I. cracker goes Zen.

The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett

Droll and understated English humor (yes, I know that's redundant...and repetitive). Local hedge wizard makes good (with help of world's most dim-witted tourist).

The Onion Presents: Our Dumb Century by America's Finest News Source

Classic and, for the most part, apocryphal, splash pages from the last remaining bastion of wise-ass humor in America.

Now Wait for Last Year by Philip K. Dick

Imagine a drug--instantly addictive--that causes you to spontaneously shift forward or back in time. Nancy Reagan had it easy.

The Dunwich Horror and Others by H(oward) P(hilips) Lovecraft

For me, the definitive collection--it contains all the greats.

The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy

Police procedurals don't get any grittier, or more gripping.

Dark Knights & Holy Fools: The Art and Films of Terry Gilliam by Bob McCabe

Wow! A complete retrospective of the life and work of the most dangerous filmmaker in the Western World, already. Jolly good.

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster

Sort of a road movie in print, with Milo and his companion Tock, a watchdog actually made out of clock parts. Well, yes, this book was written during the sixties, why do you ask?

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr.

The apocalypse comes, and the only institution left standing afterward is the Catholic Church. Bleak, disturbing, and utterly unforgettable.
