Naked Lunch by #WilliamSewardBurroughs I read large portions of this book, probably 1/2 to 3/4 of it, as a young teenager. 14? 15? It was a very powerful book and I am sorry I read it then as it influenced my personal development in ways I don't like in retrospect. I wanted to find things like shit and violence and (especially) addiction sexy.

OK #Bookstodon, so it is time for #7books that made a difference in my life, restricted to books that I have not [yet] read in full.

1. "Naked Lunch" by #WilliamSewardBurroughs

2. "Gravity's Rainbow" by #ThomasPynchon, obsession of my 20s! Note I technically read to the final page of this book the third time I tried reading it, but there are vast portions of the book are tierra incognita for me.

3. "Regeneration Through Violence" by #RichardSlotkin
