What book? I've never read any Burroughs, been meaning to for a while.
read all his books - you should read queer its sort of follows on from junkie. I think i posted the junkies xmas here last here as everyone seen it?narrated by WBS
I assumed it would be Junkie, seems to be the most famous one anyway, just thought I'd check with you saying it's probably his best. I'll have a wee swatch on eBay the now, see if I can get it cheap.
It's so beautiful to know that the actual last statement in his diary was along the lines of:...his best work imo is Last words which is a series of diary pieces from the last 9 months of his life...

well not an easy read in terms of structure but the thread is there - the cut ups are barmy, have you read nova express (just started it again last night after reading these posts) The cut ups were an experiment by the great man to try and prove a literal conundrum -p of course he was taking industrial amounts of drugs at the time : )
but he ABUSED CATS WHILST HIGH VERY OFTEN. This is edited from the final version of junky. FUCK BURROUGHS
dogs deserve a bit of abuse anyway.. mean bastards
cats deserve a bit of abuse anyway.. mean bastards
And also had a huge love of cats later in life & had many in his home.
Last piece he ever did in his notebook the day before he died was about the love of cats.
Hush up & learn before you hold such dumb views on people is my advice.
How the fuck does your scrawny ass think that that changes what he did? Ugly aggy cunt. For the whole of junky and older in his life he was abusing cats. He said sorry did he? Great. PM me I don't wanna clog the thread up. ta
