Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I think this is a first of his that I am reading and so far, it's interesting.

When I was a college freshman I was in a department production of Slaughterhouse Five- I was Billy Pilgrim. I don't think I had read any Vonnegut before that but read quite a bit of his work later.

Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs. I put this off for a long time since I wasn't really thrilled with his other three list books.

Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell.I've read some of her short stories, mostly gothic inspired and very well crafted pieces so I am very curious to tackle her more socially conscious fiction.

Have you watched the German TV series made by Fassbinder? Good, but quite long. I'm going to read the book some day.
