Just finished this book. The Caligula arc is legitimately absurd. Did anyone else find this book unexpectedly funny at times? I'm definitely going to get the sequel from the library pretty soon. As for suggestions, Denis Johnson recently died, so one of his books could be the BOTM. Angels, Fiskadoro, and Jesus' Son all seem to be generally well-regarded.

edit: to sell you all on Denis Johnson, here's a pdf of a short story that he did: Car Crash While Hitchhiking.

If you like that, you absolutely must watch the BBC series -- John Hurt goes all-out in playing Caligula and it's awesome.

Oh gently caress! John Hurt as Caligula? SOLD.
