Naked Lunch is more like menudo than plain tripe.

But that's not saying much other than some of it is barely palatable.
No book "needs" to be a random read; any book can be read straight
through, like, as you say, "Ulysses." I find "Tristram Shandy" and
"Finnegan's Wake" more rewarding when I just pick them up and start
reading wherever I open them. For one thing, they're never finished
and I always have something to look forward to, like I've been reading
FW for over 20 years: it has the same theme as Milton's "Paradise
Lost" you know, though more informed by Catholic fantasy than Calvanistic
certainty. This place could sure use a front and center book forum.
Regards,

J.R.
