 Hey, it's a really good book, but you can't rush it, all the interesting stuff is between the lines.

As for me - "The Sound and the Fury" by William Faulkner and "Black Spring" by Henry Miller.

I'm going to read Imagica from Clive Barker this week I think, or should I read something I haven't read yet????

Any recommendations for books in the same vein as Clive Barker, Fantasy preferable???

Well... Barker's pretty unique, so can't really recommend anything very similar, but if you want high fantasy of an even higher level then look no further than "The Book of the New Sun" - cycle by Gene Wolfe. Reading this made me think of Fitzgerald's and Hemingway's best.

German Literature like Hermann Hesse, Franz Kafka, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Max Frisch, Guenther Grass, Heinrich Heine and whatever.

My favorite is probably "Narcissus and Goldmund" by Hesse, and currently I am reading "The Glass Bead Game" by the same author!

beautiful and classic literature...I've read a few weeks ago the book of poems and notes of Hermann Hesse called "description of a landscape" (I don't exactly know the right translation)

That's a great book.  I love how it starts out rather hard to read and understand but slowly gets easier and easier.  Just like the way life gets in the future, there is not struggling, no pain.  But things go by faster and parts can be skipped over easier.  Life doesn't get as challenging.
