Just finished re-reading the Dresden Files, all 17 books. Started a new series, one I’ve never read before, called the Riftworld Cycle.The first book is Magician: Apprentice. So far it’s decently entertaining:)

I've never met anybody who's read Naked Lunch all the way through. Maybe that's because the crowd I hang out with isn't that intellectually stimulating

You can't go wrong with Junky and Queer. Also

We will see when will I reach my breaking point :D So far I really like Naked Lunch, but yeah it is definitely something that I will re-read a bit later, just to help myself understand a bit more.

Already read them!

I was so surprised, because I originally searched for On the Road in my uni's online catalog - and did not know we have a copy of the Junky, but when I saw it I run in the library after my class and asked for it right away. The librarian first told me that this must be a misunderstanding since she never really saw the book as she was cleaning or organizing. I showed her the screenshot of the book, also the number it runs under. No surprise that she never saw it, since it was hiding on the top of some random shelf across the corridor :D The last time someone took it out was in '84! I was not even a thought back then, and the librarian lady was just an undergrad student, as she told me. I really liked it, so I order a copy for myself and I'm wating for it to arrive.

I plan to write my thesis on Queer! Ordered it together with Junky, but Queer arrived a bit earlier and I jumped right in it. I also plan to write a shorted essay on it for one of my classes, so I really like it too.

I will definitely check out the Ted Morgan book! Thank you for the recommendation!

University sounds like it could be a front for something else

The Peripheral, by William Gibson, i kinda got a bad time getting into it, i'm more used to his 20-30pages chapters with the Neuromancer and the Voodoo Trilogy, but it's kinda way easier to read when the chapter last so shortly, it's make you move towards the two patterns the author wrote for the two characters, on different timezone sharing space, this is mindblowing :)

Sorry for the first response, i took it like an hypocrite....;)

Well glad you like it, unfortunately you won't be able to read it but it's about a rabbit who is peacefully smoking under a tree while a litle girl comes out of another tree and insult him, so he goes back at here as she walks back into the tree through a magic portal, and the rabbit follows, and then, well it's already crazy, but it gets more crazy, and it's like one of the best ska-punk band of the european underground scene figure (Ludwig Von 88) who's behind the plume, so it's priceless and respectfull :)

Here some Zariel's work on this book, s.he's awesome too:
