I'm so long-winded, I need two entries.
I couldn't throw this recommendation away at the end of that last entry.
A while ago, Nes gave me a copy of ,said the shotgun to the head by Saul Williams. It's not long to read once, but it really requires several readings. It's not a book, it's a long poem. I can't really begin to describe it, but it is a mind-altering read. He addresses so many ideas and thoughts is such a in/coherent series of images and words that reading it will leave you confused, breathless and wanting more.
It makes more sense when you read the poem, but to explain would demean the book and not get me any further along in explanation. Read the book quickly, and your brain will feel like it's had a quickie in a dark corner. Read it slowly, and your brain will be overwhelmed by sensualness and images. Either way, it's like sex in that finishing will only make you want to do it again. Great read.
