I realized the other day I have been slacking on these posts, mainly because I havenât been reading as much as usual due to my current project and the book I am pretty exhausted by the time I hit the bed. Here is what I have gotten through over the last couple months:
Ok, so Naked Lunch is one of the stranger books I have ever read. I am not really sure what to make of it. Itâs both brilliant and insane, and I have to admit I didnât understand it all. This edition was interesting because it also includes some of the transcript from the indecency trial for the book, including testimony from Ginsberg and Norman Mailer⦠pretty interesting stuff.
I have had Geek Love sitting on my shelf for some time, and its not about computer geeks meeting on myspace or something⦠its about carnival folk. (Geeks being the guys/gals who bite the heads off chickens) It was an awesome book, not only a good story but also tackling the topic of our appearances and how they affect our lives. Very good stuff. (Thanks to Brendan for the recommendation)
