Cobweb Heart: Mar 31, 2010; I need you to wear this. I need you to wear this all the time. It's office policy.

Naked Lunch. You can begin reading it at any point and have pretty much the same amount of understanding as someone who began reading at the beginning. Characters float in and out of the story. There are hints of vast conspiracies and unknowable wars constantly hovering on the edge of the narrative. Apparently important things are always revealed to not be so and most of the significant events have to do with characters shooting up huge amounts of drugs. The language is incessantly poetic and frequently drops into dreamlike combinatorics to describe whatever dick jokes or legitimate dick eroticism were going through the author's mind at the time.
