I will fuck you up if you read Dickens for fun.

I already read Kerouac, Kerouac doesn't interest me as much. I may go with Burroughs I liked Junky I thought that was a fine book.

You would probably like Burroughs, lots of homo-erotic vibes going on.

Excellent choices, Sir.

I would aslo add to that list:

Henry Miller. In particular the rosy crucifixion trilogy - Sexus, Plexus and Tropic Of Cancer.

Seth Morgan - Homeboy. His only novel. Seth Morgan was Janis Joplin's lover at the time of her death. He was arrested for armed robbery and started writing in Prison. He died shortly after completing this critically acclaimed tale of a San Francisco Hell's Angel. Brilliant.

John Dos Passos - Manhattan Transfer.

that was for emphasis, because that is so untrue. i probably owe the library at least $20.

Yeah I just get lazy to retuned them, so I buy them instead, I at least spend 2-3 hours in the bookstore trying to see if the books are any good.
