The more Burroughs I read the more rewarding it gets so maybe junky is next. The original Burroughs introduction to queer was especially illuminating. 

I thought I pretty much knew what this book was going to be about but I ended up finding it very interesting and enlightening and surprising and it’s very clear how it became as influential as it did. Also didn’t realize how bad the lack of personhood for women was and how much worse things got from after the first wave to the time of the feminine mystique and how progress can be undone…. Erm gulp. Really liked the long sections of interview excerpts with the housewives. 

I’ll come back to this later 

I was really getting into the last 100 or so pages but at first it sometimes felt like a chore to get through so I guess it just took me time to adjust to the writing style and the ways that it jumps around. I like the drug appendix at the back. 

Wow so amazing

I was reading it at work and I just never bought it. It was go though maybe someday 

So sad. Music is power.
