BOOKS THAT WILL INDUCE A MINDFUCK

A ver, se que este post va a ser muy largo, pero decidí copiarlo todo para que no tengan que dejar DB. Si quieren ver las referencias el link está en el título. Veo varios que no conozco y algunos que si. Los que valen la pena de los que conozco ahí les van:

Los dos de Bulgakov son buenísimos, el Fahrenheit de Bradbury es genial, la naranja mecánica wow! (en inglés exclusivamente, en ese libro el idioma es todo), Camus, Cazares, Castañeda, Caroll Lewis, Cortazar, Bioy (la invención de morel, no dejen de leerlo). HIstoria de dos ciudades de Dickens tiene la mejor primer página de todos los tiempos (junto con MOby Dick). Wow, son muchos, ya me los voy a saltar pq muchos son muy obvios. Pero por ahí si pueden lean el Wind-Up Bird Chronicle de Murakami (lean todos los de Murakami, menos el de Hard Boiled WOnderland que no me gusta nada). Ah, y me sorprende que no venga el de Wild Palms de Faulkner (dificil de conseguir, creo que se reedito con el título de "If I forget thee Jerusalem").

Ah, Fight Club, joya. Mejor que la peli que es muy buena. Y de Gogol, "La Nariz" que tampoco viene en esta lista. Y el Slaughterhouse Five de Vonnegut.

Y creo que por fin hoy veré la de los Coen. Creo que ya la van a quitar, así que apuraos.


ALguien ha leído a HUnter Thompson? Cual me recomiendan? Es el de Gonzo Journalism? NO? nunca he entendido bien que es eso. Si hay alguien que sepa, se los agradecería. Strika? Groucho? Iris?
