Maybe you would like some of it.
And of course Stig Larssons postmodernist The Autists, if only to confuse the feeble mind of your everyday Stieg Larsson reader. Growing up in the same town the both writers in spe actually knew each other. Since they then shared the same name - Stig - they used paper rock scissors, maybe lizard and spock as well, to decide which one had to change his name. Stieg lost.The morning is not enough.

No. There was some speculations, but it turned out they're two different writers. However from the same place in northern Sweden (hence the suspicion). I'd recommend Teratologen as well, if it weren't for the almost impossible to translate dialect in which he writes. Luckily I was born in the same deep haunted forests of Västerbotten as both Larsson and Teratologen. It makes it easy for me as a reader. I succeed where more southerly swedes fail.Last edited by destroymebaby; 11-11-2012, 06:42 PM.The morning is not enough.

Jack Black's You can't win was fantastic.
Of course Charles R Jackson's The Lost Weekend, if you're into the drinking side of Bukowski.
