I've heard the same about both of those, but I'm sure I'll venture there eventually anyway. I'm bull-headed like that. :-) I picked up Queer the other day, so that will be my next Burroughs.

I do have a slight aversion to anything to do with Beat literature.

Junky is pretty straight forward, so it will be fun to see the difference.<br /><br />A Bookshelf Monstrosity ~ You're welcome! I've always been intimidated by Naked Lunch, even though I've wanted to read it forever. I can't speak from experience at this point since Junky is the only one I've read, but perhaps this is a better place to start with his work.<br /><br />Obladi Oblada ~ I hope you like it, too!<br /><br />JoAnn ~ For some reason I can't identify, I've had a fascination with his work, but I've never been brave enough to read it. Hopefully I'll soon be able to give you all a better idea of what to expect from a wider variety of his books. Until then, I do recommend this one!<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-54770278227977313142009-10-19T05:59:33.326-05:002009-10-19T05:59:33.326-05:00Have never read Burroughs, but it sounds like I sh...Have never read Burroughs, but it sounds like I should...JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-89133710722043096872009-10-18T23:48:10.762-05:002009-10-18T23:48:10.762-05:00Sounds really good...Im putting it on my list, tha...Sounds really good...Im putting it on my list, thanks!obladi obladahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369698071576277433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-82536729128362819522009-10-18T20:23:18.271-05:002009-10-18T20:23:18.271-05:00Interesting post.

I think alot of it had to do with vivid hallucinations, obviously derived from Burroughs personal experience. It's good to hear a review for him and makes me more likely to pick up his books.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859073970689240250noreply@blogger.com
