Choices Choices Choices

I can't decide what I want to read next. I just finished Nausea by Sartre last week and from there I started Doors of Perception by Aldus Huxley. I think I'm going to finish that but I don't know what to read.

I have A LOT of non-fiction books. I could read my newly acquired Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes by a one Jacques Ellul. I also have The Rastafarians a book about the history of the Rasta movement. I have Profit Over People, Towards a New Cold War, Hegemony or Survival, Deterring Democracy, For Reasons of State, and Objectivity and Liberal Scholarship by Noam Chomsky. Or maybe I can finish Freedom and Neurobiology by John Searle or Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky.

Oh Zues! The fiction. Oh the fiction! Restaurant at the End of the Universe (the sequel to HitchHiker's Guide), Lolita by Nabokov, Pale Fire also by Nabokov, Breakfast at Tiffany's by Capote, Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky, The Castle by Kafka, Something Happened by Joseph Heller (author of the wonderful Catch 22), The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemminway (who for some reason I imagine as a black man...), The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner, The Mandarins by the ever inspiring Simone de Beauvoir, Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller (supposedly a superclassic), Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by one of my favorite authors Haruki Murakami, Wild Sheep Chase also by Murakami, and JD Salinger's Nine Stories, among others of course.

Too many choices. But I think to cut down the choices I'll go with a system of one non-fiction book then one fiction book. And that means after Doors of Perception I will be reading a fiction. Oh what shall I choose?
