Small list:
Tales of mystery and Imagination, Edgar Allan Poe - Atmospheres and hidden meanings.
Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll - Carroll is the king of nonsense. This book is full of great imagery and humour.
De Profundis, Oscar Wilde - I love all his works, but this long letter is like a testament from the man of genius.
Diaries, Vaslav Nijinsky - Alternates moments of madness and interesting theories about life, power and arts.
The Call of Cthulhu, Howard Phillips Lovecraft - This is so damn creepy... Our senses and perceptions are so terribly weak...
Les Enfants Terribles, Jean Cocteau - As for Wilde, another work from a man of genius. Very morbid desription of relationships and beauty.
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley - Yes, I too am listing this book. This is a political, sociological essay about the power of technology. Sort of sci-fi, but only on the surface.
La Nausée, Jean Paul Sartre - A philosophical essay on the meaning of existence in the form of a novel.
The Master and Margarita, Mikhail Bulgakov - This book can be read following different levels. It is so complex that is impossible to sum it up and explain why I love it.
1984, George Orwell - Well, like Brave New World, this is sci-fi only looking at it from the outside. It is so real that it can almost creep you out.
Dance Dance Dance, Haruki Murakami - Another book that mixes nonsense, inexplicable and mystery with more rational contents. And I love the style of this writer.
