Favourites would be Perfume (without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite book!), catcher in the rye, steppenwolf, brave new world, november, sentimental education, the fall, nausea, the dharma bums, the dubliners, a scanner darkly, narzciss and goldmund, big sur, the plague, Malcolm Pryce's Louie Knight books (aberystwyth mon amour, last tango in aberystwyth, and the unbearable lightness of being in aberystwth), the dice man.... Let's see what's next... any suggestions?
Addendum-read comment below,didn't know I'd missed your birthday,hope it was happy.Think I may have bummed the Stu out by forcing some Dennis Wilson on him,amazingly heavy shit(emotionally not musically!).If you make it to Leeds then don't worry about money,to quote the Jim of Morrison "Get here & we'll do the rest".
Dude,will be fucking,fucking brilliant to see you here anytime-kind of figure some planning should be involved so's to avoid work next day.Don't know if you're aware I've not met your beloved, though if she's in love you,she's obviously beyond hope&obviously welcome anytime(notice I said hope,not salvation-no point being a reverend if you can't step up to the plate once in awhile!).Was fantastic talking to you other night though I guess you're totally aware my memory fails to dredge me saying anything beyond"Hello"+"Stu's here",says it all really... xxx
