Anti-Tech Revolution by Ted Kaczynski, I've been reading about him and Timothy McVeigh (so true crime but also their political philosophies) lately. For McVeigh the book I read was the one he was involved with called American Terrorist and it was very good.
I can't quite pick a favorite author but I feel like Cormac McCarthy is a really great American writer more foreigners should read more of, though I'm not sure how popular he is in other countries.

I've only been reading horror/sci-fi/thriller trash for the past 2-3 years and feel like a fraud. But when I think to myself 'ok im done with that lowbrow stuff', I keep finding more of them and the urge sets in.

Cormac McCarthy is fairly popular because of movie adaptations, but I found him difficult to read

Thanks, I didn't know that. And yes some of his vocabulary is unusual and almost archaic, I like it though.

I'm reading Le père goriot right now. I just finished Eugènie Grandet this week end. It's nice.
Best author is probably Stendhal.
Great book foreigners usually don't know about is Les Mémoires d'outre tombe. Memoirs of Chateaubriand. This is considered to be one of the best book written in french but looses probably all its interest with translation.
