I only read Ham On Rye. Loved it. So, I should read Post Office next?

It definitely does, thanks.

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. - Neuromancer, William Gibson. Not my favorite (I don't really have one), but the first one I remembered.

Ah, you should watch Adaptation. (Movie from 2002, directed by Spike Jonze.) Among other things, it's about adapting books to film scripts... Fight Club is great both as a book and as a movie, for example. Of course it's impossible to maintain exactly how stylish the narration was, but the cinematography was cool and made up for it. Other than that, I can't recall many... I'm reading Shutter Island now. I've read about half so far, but it seems the film is quite faithful to the original. The film has its faults, but I think it did justice to the book.

I'd like to read something substantial but with a positive tone, or humorous in an intelligent way. I'm in the mood for it, I feel slightly fed up with well-written but pessimistic stuff (Kafka, Palahniuk), but I really don't want to end up reading chick lit... Which is also pretty much how I ended up registering on this site - I don't know where else to seek advice x) Thanks.
