Books:
in between mind-numbing academic discourse, i enjoy novels that are trashy, suspenseful, thought-provoking, destabilising, disturbing, existential or otherwise illuminative of the human condition. here follows a small selection.
catcher in the rye, the rules of attraction, generation x, crimes against humanity, bliss, the day of the locust, after the neocons, less than zero, the king of torts, the end of history and the last man, the biography of sir owen dixon, the talented mr ripley, cakes and ale, the street lawyer, the rainmaker, either/or, simulacra and simulation
please read and restore my faith in humanity. thanks!
