Joe targeted me in this list challenge thingamajig thats going around which means I have to spit out, without thinking about it too much (and I cheated on this part), ten books that have stuck with me in some way or another. I wasnt going to do it, but Im holed up with too much work to articulate so Im going to wing it. Thinking about books is good for the little grey cells. Tagging people in this is supposed to be obligatory, and that seems a bit invasive to me. Therefore, Ill be invasive in the lives of Elliott Freeman, Melissa Du, Stephen Mo, Sarah Kitty McLeod, and Liz Sam. Anyway, list time. 1. Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson 2. Psychedelic Norway by John Colburn 3. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson 4. Proxy by R. Erica Doyle 5. After Dark by Haruki Murakami 6. The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein 7. The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov 8. 1-800-MICE by Matthew Thurber 9. No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July 10. The Temporary Autonomous Zone by Hakim Bey Honorable mention to House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski and Gravitys Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon because I learn something new every time I try to finish those monsters. And obvious, implied mention of Ginsberg, Burroughs, Pessoa, Bukowski, Marquis du Sade, and Whitman because I have to.
