read the whole fucking book. last paragraph of the chapter "Ordinary Men and Women":

(Note: Old time, veteran Schmeckers, faces beaten by grey junk weather, will remember.... In 1920s a lot of Chinese pushers around found The West so unreliable, dishonest and wrong, they all packed in, so when an Occidental junky came to score, they say: "No glot.... C'lom Fliday....")

Pick one.

ha, that's a good one.

Yeah, Naked Lunch is the place to start. If you don't like it, then you can get lost.

If you really liked the disorganized, cut-up style of Naked Lunch, check out the Nova Trillogy (Soft Machine, The Ticket that Exploded, Nova Express).

If you liked Naked Lunch but want a slightly more linear story (only slightly), check out the Red Night Trilogy (Cities of the Red Night, The Place of Dead Roads, The Western Land)

I haven't read Queer or Junkie.

Mix in some short stories wherever. "Coming of the Purple Better One" and "Interzone" are great.

Good thing i started with it then. Haven't read much but loved his style.

>>8439437
made me chuckle

I haven't read it, but it probably means "I'm gay."

Junky is hilarious and his easiest work. Queer sucked.
