I need a good book to read, something that will make me think.

Similar to that of my pic.

p.s. the movie is fucking terrible in comparison to the book

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 13 14:56:53 2010 No.1203371 I would recommend William S. Burroughs but I haven't read anything by him myself, so I don't

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 13 15:08:53 2010 No.1203394 OP you fucking faggot, the movie is so much better then that peice of shit book.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 13 16:41:53 2010 No.1203615 >>1203349 In all honesty, Fight Club was the first book I read after Clockwork Orange. Thought they went decently well together.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 13 16:44:53 2010 No.1203623 >>1203371 Junky is good. Naked Lunch is just mindfuck territory.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 13 16:54:53 2010 No.1203644 >>1203316 If you're coming from Burgess, you should read Nabokov's Lolita or Joyce's Ulysses. They amplify what he's doing in that book.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 13 17:20:53 2010 No.1203698 Naked Lunch is the greatest novel of the second half of the twentieth century written by an American. It fucks your head but it's meant to. It retrains your thinking. Or you reject it, and become a fart.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 13 17:39:53 2010 No.1203749 >>1203316 Bullshit, A Clockwork Orange is probably the only case where the movie is better than the book.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 13 17:41:53 2010 No.1203750 >>1203749 it's certainly more understandable. the book had me going in circles for a bit because of the language!

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 14 07:23:53 2010 No.1205218 I picked up absolutely nothing from Naked Lunch other than being mildly disgusted at times It's been a number of years since I've read it though so maybe it'll be a little less impenetrable the next time I give it a chance
