movies: I recommend the darjeeling limited, but rushmore is still THE BEST wes anderson film.
books: I recommend white noise by don delillo, but not manhattan transfer by dos passos (despite what greil marcus says).
life: I recommend reducing your spending significantly, unless purchasing ridiculous plastic halloween figures for your yard. especially figures of the decapitated sort. to be left up year-round.

white noise is a trip...the concept of a department of hitler studies...crazy.....
I hated White Noise! DeLillo, Vonnegut, Coetzee, Hemingway... no matter how much I love what they're saying, I can't seem to get past their styles.
what!? Vonnegut is HYSTERICAL. Slaughterhouse five had me chuckling out loud...so it goes.
and I really liked disgrace, by coetzee, but haven't read anything else by him.
you're obviously confused. obviously.
I think Don DeLillo is a terrific writer. His best novels are some of my personal favorites, and even his lesser novels are weird and interesting enough to be worth the time and energy it takes to read them. His latest novel, Falling Man, is supposed to be one of his best, though I haven't gotten around to it yet.
