    I am curious as to what your favorite book is?

    Mine is a bit obscure, and most people that do know what it is look at me funny when I tell them its my favorite book. Its called the Divine Comedy by Dante. It means a lot to me on a personal level, as when I was little, my grandfather read it to me in the original Italian and then a second time in English. Its one of my favorite memories.

    I'd have to go with Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk. It's just pure genius. Also, I really love A Clockwork Orange and 1984.

    Lord of The Flies and A Clockwork Orange are the ones I would feel the most comfortable labeling my favorite.

    There's so many I really love, though...
