Armor, followed by Grendel. The latter really must be taught, on a dry run it's just kind of wacky atonal modernism with fun mythological characters.

Armor, though, is pure fucking hype in text format, aside from maybe the picnic scene which had no purpose (really most of the frame narrative has no purpose other than being fun, and that's ok)

The lightbringer series by Brent weeks was my most recent fun read.

American Tabloid by James Ellroy.

A number of noir books from the mid 20th century: Jim Thompson, Patrica Highsmith, David Goodis.

Charles Willeford's books are a lot of fun as well because his main characters tend to be low-life psychopaths.

If such a sublime cyborg would insinuate the future as post-Fordist subject, his palpably masochistic locations as ecstatic agent of the sublime superstate need to be decoded as the “now-all-but-unreadable DNA” of a fast deindustrializing Detroit, just as his Robocop-like strategy of carceral negotiation and street control remains the tirelessly American one of inflicting regeneration through violence upon the racially heteroglossic wilds and others of the inner city.

Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking" beautifully describes grief. Her husband died of a heart attack without warning as the two of them were having dinner; meanwhile her daughter was deathly ill in the hospital. The best part is where she quotes an etiquette book about how to interact with grief-stricken people.

Explore the hurt then show how they can be redeemed

Do we need two threads about this?

The reason you guys don't live wandering lifestyles is because you have autism. Not paying rent requires you to make a large network of sexual partners, family, parties, drug dealers, and other people like you to survive.

Me.

the odds that you will ever reach a level of fluency in that language and then utilize it to write a compelling story for native speakers of that language is monumentally slim and not worth the effort.
