I just finished reading "High Rise" by J G Ballard, it was good but the 70's futurism feels a bit clunky to me, I think it's just because of ballards age. I've been thumbing through "The Atrocity Exhibition" aswell which seems pretty promising so far. Looking forward to the chapter "why I want to fuck ronald reagan".
I'm reading "Money" by Martin Amis at the moment too, it's good, definately a book guys will enjoy. It's the first book of his I've read but I will definately be buying some more. I can see why he has been accused in the past of being a mysoginist but I think there is a great deal of parody involved with characters such as John Self in this book. |
