Burrough's son did a good one. Crank, or something along those lines.

Just picked up:

And, Phantom of the Opera, which I never got around to reading.

Yeah, I remember reading that when I was a kid and really liking it. I bet it's the kind of book that has untold depth ... now that I'm a bit older.

My Education: Book of Dreams Burroughs.
Decent. Had a few laugh-out-loyd moments. In general, I find him to be kinda one dimensionsonal and utterly lacking in human emotion or humility, humor, relevance, etc.
Still, a quick and easy read.

'Civilization: the West and the Rest'
Excellent, confrontational, much needed. I'm liking it so far!

A lot of SciFi fans in here. Anyone read or remember Schismatrix? 
Bruce Sterling gave faaar better interviews and SXSW talks than he ever did novels, in my opinion...

Flowers of Evil. Charles Baudelaire. Not as mind blowing as I expected...
Rumi. Awesome,as ecpected.
Some Walking Dead novel bs. Trying to force myself to finish it even though it reads like something a friend of mine could splurt out over the weekend and be better at...

Sci Fi and Cartoons are over-represented in this group. Surprise.
