go ask alice - Anon

1984 - George Orwell
american psycho - Brett Easton Ellis
one flew over the cuckoo's nest - Ken Kesey
catcher in the rye - J. D. Salinger
metamorphosis - Franz Kafka
dorian gray - Oscar Wilde
I'm trying to read the total list.That's what I've done so far.AP is my favourite so far.Not very challenging, I admit.

Could anyone recommend some more non-fiction books Nicky might've used as inspiration/reference material over the course of the post-Richey career?

I've got Homage to Catalonia down as one anyway.

Working on a list of books the Manics read with accompanying sources: http://tinyurl.com/mspbooks If anyone notices that books that should be on here aren't or has sources for where they'd mentioned reading them, it'd be greatly appreciated.

There's a great list (and probably one of the most comprehensive) on manics.nl.
http://www.manics.nl/site/literature/books.htm

Edit: oops Marilyn, just saw you mentioned manics.nl already. Great list anyway!

Indeed, I'm going through that one as well. I'm mostly having trouble finding out through sources which of what the Manics sourced in their lyrics and whatnot that they actually read.
