The book I have probably read the most over the past 25+ years or so and the one that has had the greatest effect on my outlook on life. The Post Office, as with life, is a machine so large it can't be seen and exists purely to break and slowly grind people into sand. And it is your duty, as a human being, to fuck with it in as many exciting and inventive ways as possible. The novel that taught me, more than any other, that no matter what happens, it doesn't matter - any of it - and no fucking bastard can tell you otherwise. The Earth will still turn and the sun will still rise.
A book about insects, fucking, wild rent boys, the absolute and pure benefits of a serious *serious* drug dependency, the pursuit of artistic endeavour, international politics, and more fucking. A book that makes no sense yet perfect sense at the same time. It throws so much incredible imagery at you on every page it is, for me, without equal in terms of a reading experience.
