The Crying of Lot 49 and Gravity's Rainbow are about the two most paranoid *anythings* I can think of.

and as a runner-up, Robert Anton Wilson. (If you don't see the fnord, it can't eat you.)
On edit: I use 'Raketemensch' as my username on a few other fora. :D

4. Gotta go with Kafka... |
|
other writers are better, but none are quite as paranoid as Kafka.

5. I wanted to say Kafka, but I'm only vaguely familiar with his work. |
|
I've read "The Trial" once, haha. That's it. It was great though.
I voted Chuck Palahniuk, because I'm much more familiar with his work.

7. Kafka for pure freakdom. |
|
Philip K. Dick for imagination. I'd have to admit that before I saw the poll and choices, my mind initially went to Kafka. :D

i liked palahniuk too until that last book, actually it was a good book but i just didn't need to read the chapter about the kid who chewed off his own large intestine in the swimming pool
he should get together w. stephen king and have a contest about who can write the most disgusting gross-out scene but i'll let the other fans read it
