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.
