It's hardly a mindfuck on the level of those hoary old pervs Burroughs or Ballard, but what's interesting for me is the reclamation of the word 'cunt' as a sensuous word. Especially in the saucer of milk scene. <g> Thanks to whoever recommended Geek Love, btw. It's engrossing. My book list is probably too predictable but, hey, here goes: Paul Auster - Moon Palace + City Of Glass Ayn Rand - The Fountainhead Jean Cocteau - Les Enfants Terribles Martin Amis - Dead Babies Sussana Moore - In The Cut Stephen Fry - The Liar Theodore Rozenstein - Flicker (I may be wrong about the author's name) Donna Tartt - The Secret History Helen Zahavi - Dirty Weekend Plus the Douglas Coupland books, and Charlie Higson's novels are great too, if totally non-B&S.
