Outside of Finnegan's Wake, what are the essential book recommendations for a fan of David Lynch's films?

>What's a good place to start?

Eraserhead
Blue Velvet
Lost Highway
Mulholland Drive
Inland Empire

in that order

The Elephant Man and The Straight Story are pretty good, but neither these nor Dune are like his other movies.

I didn't like Wild at Heart or Dune, but other people do.

Put Wild at Heart between Blue Velvet and Lost Highway. And start with the bio, (or was it just a collection of shorts?) film out there. (Both if two separate pieces)

hate to say it, but you really kind of do want to read infinite jest
any psychoanalytic work could be potentially interesting, or like any surreal horror stuff i guess

alternatively you could try to find the pieces of americana that populate lynch's dreams and films and just read classic american novels
