08.21.14 | Bukowski - Ham on Rye
One of the most hilarious books I've ever read right up there with Confederacy of Dunces (John Kennedy Toole). Quick read too from what I remember. |

08.21.14 | Ernest Hemingway's the best, so that's my suggestion. |

08.21.14 | whick Hemingway tho? |

08.21.14 | Just finished Things Fall Apart last week. I recommend something else. I'm sure it was groundbreaking when released, but not so interesting now--unless you have a special interest in African culture and the origins of colonialism. |

08.21.14 | I really don't. what would you rec then? |
TwigTW
08.21.14 | If you want an American classic I'd rec. Truman Capote - In Cold Blood . . . Otherwise, I'd say Geek Love - Katherine Dunn (because you like Confederacy of Dunces). |
