Has anyone read it? Opinions?

Thought it was pretty decent and even the twist was interesting (although I saw it coming)

I thought it was a little dry at times but enjoyable overall. I especially like it in the context of Golding's other works, considering his interest in human nature in extreme, survivalist situations.

dry in what way?

yeah I agree, can you recommend any more william golding? So far i've read LOTF, the inheritors and this. Was gonna continue in chronological order but he's 4th book doesnt really interest me, not sure why. But then again if i enjoyed his first 3 books then why not his fourth...

Can I get some recomendations? I need a book that is explicit/crass/has drug use and has over the top violence. It can be about crime or action or whatever. Something like Clockwork Orange or a Tarantino movie in a book
Thanks

House of leaves got its moment. It's more a psychological mindfuck book involving a depraved character but it's still good.

Long is too long and as it moves away from Silk.
Wolfe is also not nearly as good in third person.
Short is the most confusing too, I can't get to the meaning of it.

How do i do automatic writing? Ive heard a lot about my favorite poets doing it, so i googl'd it to try it for myself. unfortunately all im getting are half insane occultists talking about "your third eye" and "the angels inside you". Could i find a secular tutorial for this shit anywhere?
