Or any list of results you get with Googling, "most disturbing novels".

My Forum education in full swing. Now that I know that its book and an apparently disturbing one, if I ever decide to read another book again, this won't be the one... Thanks literatus.... :)

You're welcome! You might be pleasantly surprised to find that, compared to many readers and writers, you're not such a perv after all. :LOL:

 

(EDIT: To be clear, I know you're not REALLY a perv.)

You may not know it, but the band Steely Dan gets its name from Naked Lunch. The "Steely Dan" is a giant dildo.

The book clubs my wife goes to don't actually discuss the books they just talk, drink wine, and eat. One of her book clubs just got a new member who used to be in a book club with Geddy's wife. She says the food and wine was always incredible at the Lee household.

 

maybe you can try and meet geddy

Not to start a thread fight, but why can't literature be about the books these days?

 

EDIT: Oh crap, I think I just wrecked the thread. :oops:

do you understand it? I don't

 

The book is a stream of consciousness representation of what was going on in Burroughs's head during various stages of drug withdrawal. I think he wrote it in bits and pieces during those times.
