He's new to me and I'll try him
Further recommendation - "Last Exit To Brooklyn" - Hubert Selby.

Read that, then read "The Room."

I love Last Exit to Brooklyn.
A stunning accomplishment when you consider what he overcame.

I love you for loving that book
Because there aren't many people who can stomach it.

Have you read "The Room"?

That intensifies the whole thing. Evil seeps out of that book.

Haven't read any other Hubert Selby Jnr.
I saw the film of Requiem For a Dream and thought it was terrible.

I don't see how people wouldn't be able to stomach it. American Psycho maybe, but Last Exit is quite tame.

I am currently reading Tropic of Cancer. I am taking it slowly so I can savour the whole thing, it's that kind of book.

I also love Don DeLillo, he writes sentences that you could hang on your wall, they are that beautiful.

If I was gay I'd be well into you!
Have a full shelf of DeLillo. Libra turns your head ten different ways.

Underworld is Velvet Underground in words.

Underworld is beautiful.
But my favourite DeLillo is White Noise.

Where do I start on John Berger?
You need to try Robert Stone - Hall of Mirrors, Dog Soldiers or A Flag For Sunrise.

I can't participate in the new thread because I don't do games.
