Question: What is your favourite "cult " book!?
Some of my faves are:-

Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita"
Nabokov's "Laughter in the Dark"
Chuck Palahniuk's "Fight CLub"
Burrough's "Naked Lunch"
Kerouac's "On the Road"

and some others, but over to you!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Dr!. Hunter S!. Thompson

"Slaughterhouse Five or The Children's Crusade" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Fight Club is an amazing book, and much better than the film!. Have you read Survivor, which is also by Palahniuk!? Equally brilliant!.

also try Trainspotting or Filth by Irvine Welsh

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I love the film Fight Club, but I think the central message of the book gets lost in translation to film even though the narration of the book is kept largely intactWww@QuestionHome@Com

'Hells Angels' by Hunter S Thompson!.

'Jupiters Travels' by Ted Simon!.

H!.P!.Lovecraft books!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me it's probably Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (and the other 4) but I don't read much cult fiction!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lockharts "Life of Napoleon"Www@QuestionHome@Com

Clockwork Orange by Anthony BurgessWww@QuestionHome@Com

Douglas Adams/Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxyWww@QuestionHome@Com

Pretty nice list you got there, but I like Breakfast of Champions by Vonnegut too!.

You take care now, you hear!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
