Don't really trust my perceptions from 10+ years back, but I enjoyed Junky and Queer, quick reads, mostly coherent unlike naked lunch fare. Read first half of Ghosts tonight, it's right up my alley.whitelight wrote:You'll love it, I guaranty you.cr1tt3r wrote:ha, nice timing, just picked this up used for 2 bucks the other day, I opened it up on some random page and fell in love with what I was reading, read lots of Burroughs (like 10 years back), but had never even heard of this one...
Do you have any other suggestion for Burroughs? I have Naked Lunch that I already read, Soft Machine that I'll soon read, and the place of dead roads (will need the first and third book of the trilogy before I start reading it).

If you're interested in Aesthetics you should read 'Mikhail Bakhtin and Walter Benjamin' by Tim Beasley-Murray, who is a badman that taught me political philosophy and German philosophy at university. Proper intelligent bloke.
He compares Bakhtin and Benjamin focussing on the forms that make experiences. He uses the same method as Kant does when he argues the Transcendental Aesthetic [that in itself is elaborated from Kant's Critique of Pure Reason].
I finished Germinal and now reading a book on Jah Rastafari himself by the Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuściński. It's a really interesting book about the workings of Selassie-I's central court and government and what lead to the end of the Ethiopian empire.
Kapuściński is a superb author, I've already read his books on the last Shah of Iran and on the Angolan Civil War.

A badly photocopied transcript of: Khmers Stand Up! A History of the Cambodian Government, 1970-1975 - Justin Corfield. I might just buy the book.

All The Pretty Horses by Cormac Mc Carthy which will be followed by The Crossing. These are volumes 1 & 2 of his "border trilogy". I can't get enough of his writing at the moment.
