Post your book lists and maybe make some book list friends if you see any book lists you like say hay and recomend to others books you think they will like based on thier lists.
Example:

Booklist:
Literary Cowboy by Ted Morgan
Cursed from Birth

Im hoping to find some more obviously counter culture reads and obviously being the site this is fetish/hipster/beatnik reads, oh and photography reads.

Gotta love Kerouac; I'm putting Angelheaded Hipster in the mail tomorrow, for a friend. It's a bio on JK, with tons of great pics.

Good source for counter-culture reading: http://www.lastgasp.com

(I add my "list" was a complete joke, and on purpose too  .)

I have to say I like your taste in books, half of those I've already read. Ill have to definatly add anything by Henry Miller to my list since he's all over my current read (Literary Outlaw)

Literary Outlaw, by William Burroughs? Another interesting writer..... I have The Adding Machine around somewhere, a collection of some of his essays.

Will have to add to my list, suddely Im reminded of Farewell to Arms, ever read that? Im a fan, I need to reread it someday, and White Cadillac with Fins is a great book too, both authors names elude me at the moment.

And no not by Burroughs but an Bio of Burroughs by Ted Morgan, great read, Im sucked into it all.

Another good read: God Is A Bullet, by Boston Tehran.
 
I've never  heard of the White Caddy book.

Status: offline 		Its an english read, kind of along the lines of Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels kinda read, I remember it being fun, and your view of Hemmingway is almost how I view Burroughs but that sure didn't stop me reading his books.
