Consult this blogspot wants you to think about:
1. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - Wow, except for the over-written, flowery, "I want to seem educated in the early 19th century" prose, this book is totally worth it. Sooo different than the movies or pop culture interpretation. Very creepy stuff.
2. Warren Ellis - Be brave and check out Transmetropolitan, Fell, and Desolation Jones...these are the ones I'm reading now
3. Robert E. Howard - He created Conan and developed what is known today as "sword & sorcery" or fantasy writing. REH, however, wrote much more than Conan. For a period a five years (before he blew his brains out), this dude cranked out a bunch of stuff. Some great, some trash, but all totally worth checking out if you're into 1930's pulp, Weird Tales or Black Mask stuff.
Go in peace and consider yourself hip and educated...
