I assume you're named after him, rather than you're actually call David Wong IRL? I thought about reading that for quite a while, but it seemed low-brow and, you know...mainstream. I'm not even sure if there are any proper surrealist books. I'm also really surprised that nobody has mentioned Kafka's works yet. Yeah I took his name. It is pretty low brow, but also a fucking awesome book. Give it a try. Do you remember when the serious reading communities wouldn't shut the fuck up about House of Leaves? Basically, for all of the 2000s, they just talked and talked about it. Crazy. I admit, though, it's a very good book, and NOBODY could say that it's just another cookie cutter release. MZD is one of those writers that self-destructed, which is both sad and hilarious. He wrote that fucking dreadful Only Revolutions, one of the worst books I have EVER read cover to cover...and then there was his super-epic The Familiar, which sounds like garbage, and got cancelled after 5 of the 28 volumes were releases. I wonder what his next career move will be. A book about the president's children getting kidnapped, written in a fictional language of his own creation and without a glossary at the end? Shame. House of Leaves was one of those special works. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. <cite>Sunhawk posted [p:913233832] in Is there a...
