Top notch literature right here:




Seriously though I'd recommend this:

'07 695 Dark - Quat-D Ex Box exhaust, gold S4 forks, Woodcraft Clipons, CRG levers, KTM headlight, Motodynamics taillight, 14t sprocket, CRG LS mirrors, flamethrower, the usual refinements.  * struck down by a hippie in a Prius on September 22nd, 2010.

RAT900

Without knowing your preference of genres and simply poking at the dark here... I would offer  

The 13th Valley by John Del Vecchio

or perhaps The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

Blue Highways by William Leastheat Moon

Listen, Little Man! by Wilhelm Reich





This is an insult to the Pez community

The Bearded Duc

Illusions
The Alchemist
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell
Hammer of the Gods
The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals
In Search of the Mole People
Stairway to Heaven

2001 M750 - Sold
2006 S2R 800 - She's just darling

If you like fantasy there is a thread somewhere, just search for it.

If not,

I always suggest The Stand by Stephen King to anyone looking for a great book.
Wherever I May Roam, Where I Lay My Head Is Home
02 620 Dark- High Mount CF Arrows

SpeedDog-Atlas Shrugged is a classic. It might be time to read it again.

Noisy Dante-I read Guns, Germs, and Steel. Diamond has another one called Collapse which is  great as well.

Rat900-13th Valley is one of the best Vietnam War novels. Blue Highways is a great suggestion. I read it but it was a LONG time ago. Definitely one to re-visit. Master and the Margarita looks fantastic I can't believe I have not heard of it before. Listen Little Man is great one. Reich's The Mass Psychology of Fascism is good too.

If you like dark and you like the southwest, try all three books in the border trilogy by Cormac McCarthy - All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, and Cities of the Plain.  All great books.
996 forks, BoomTubes, frame sliders, CRG bar-end mirrors, vizitech integrated tail light, rizoma front turn signals, rizoma grips, cycle cat multistrada clip ons, pantah belt covers - more to come

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

Illusions-the one by Bach? Great Book!
The Alchemist-Looks very good!
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell-Hilarious
Hammer of the Gods-the one about Led Zeppelin?
The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals-by Darwin? Interesting suggestion, and I've never read it.
In Search of the Mole People-Do you remember who wrote it?
Stairway to Heaven-I take it you are a fan  ;D
