What does /lit/ think of William S. Burroughs?

Forgot to mention, that to this day I still enjoy reading The Abortion (by Brautigan) but I don't think it is nearly as great as it was when I first read it. Actually, now that I think about it...I feel the same way about the rest of his novels. Although I never did like Trout Fishing in America as much as I felt I should. I do really dislike the majority of his poetry.

But yeah, WSB...uh...I liked Naked Lunch, The Yage Letters, Junkie, and Queer. Not sure if I would reread them but I did really enjoy them at the time.
