LIST: Things to Read when Your GF Dumped You Over the Weekend
Shoot the bitch and write a book about it, that’s what I do.
William S. Burroughs on Naked Lunch
- The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer. Shit happens.
- Naked Lunch by William S Burroughs. Jack Kerouac, while editing this book asked WSB (in disgust): 'Bill, what is all this stuff about young naked boys being hanged in limestone caves?'
Burroughs: 'No idea. I know I'm some kind of interplanetary agent but I don't think my signals are decoding properly' - The Pursuit of Oblivion: A Global History of Narcotics . Learn all the different drugs. Don’t do drugs.
- Heroes, Rogues and Lovers: Testosterone and Behavior. Love is a chemical reaction. So is sex, violence and other things.
- Bill Bryson’s Dictionary of Troublesome Words. Helps you with lousy English
- The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran (read my previous post).
- Works of Plato
- Sue Townsend’s Adrian Mole and Weapons of Mass Destruction (the previous ones are actually better)
- GPRS and 3G Wireless Applications.
