On that note I started reading 'Naked Lunch' last night. Stoned as fuck. Instantly I was thinking Jesus this is the strong stuff, I've been drinking watered down shandy.
The good thing with Naked Lunch is it's designed to be read in bits so you can flip through it, pick it up whenever and don't have to feel obligated to go cover to cover if it becomes a bit much.
the writing i dont like is where they are deliberately taking the piss and making it harder than it needs to be: impenetrable walls with glass inside the hand holds
Joyce is another one who it's helpful to get into via the earlier more accessible stuff - Dubliners and (less accessible but still fairly straightforward) Portrait of the Artist.
