I've got that one. Yeah, it's quite good. Argumentative though. Might make you angry in parts. (That nature vs. nurture, one or the other debate always does.)

I'd say read a bit of Chomsky first (especially if you're interested in language/linguistics.) Pinker's very much one of Noam's disciples.

The movie's a fascinating interpretation of the book, really.

Maybe. However, from the reviews I read it appeared that Pinker should be read before Chomsky. Ever since I read Hegemony or Survival, I've been meaning to pick up something else by Chomsky, perhaps his linguistic works - considering I have trouble finding much interest in politics - but, obviously, I haven't. Hopefully soon.

pinker is definitely more accessible, chomsky is highly abstract-- besides, there's been a lot of fresh evidence coming from the neuroscience of language side of things since chomsky wrote his language stuff. so there are new lots of new things.

I actually saw the movie about a year ago and thought it was great, deffinitely not much in common with the book but a bit of insight into Burroghs life with plenty of fiction of course.

Never read this, but I loved The Things They Carried. A really unusual book, and he's such a good, naturally gifted writer.
