craque sprung 🏳️‍🌈<p>Ballard&#39;s Drowned World is 1962.</p><p>So far it gives me strong Bradbury, Pynchon, and Delaney feels.</p><p>Ray and JG were contemporary and I think it shows. In a good way!</p><p>It reminds me a lot of Dhalgren (1975), which I may rereread next because I kept losing interest carting around an enormous paperback that has since disappeared. No gay sex yet tho.</p><p>I won&#39;t reread Gravity&#39;s Rainbow (1973) again (I think), there&#39;s others I want to cover. Still have that kilo of a tome.</p><p>This is all probably somehow the fault of Paul Bowles.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://c.im/tags/JGBallard" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JGBallard</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DrownedWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DrownedWorld</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Pynchon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Pynchon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GravitysRainbow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GravitysRainbow</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bradbury" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bradbury</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PaulBowles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PaulBowles</span></a></p>
craque sprung 🏳️‍🌈<p>I have this weird collection of junky first editions of books because they look wonderfully used. And I read them!!</p><p>At today&#39;s estate sale - for $2 - a first printing of &quot;The Other Side of Midnight&quot; (by Sydney Sheldon, the same guy who wrote I Dream of Jeannie) without its luxurious early-70&#39;s dust cover.</p><p>I just love finding books like this tucked away in collections. Nothing around it matched, although plenty of other pop fiction. These things are what catch my eye.</p><p>I also have an awesome copy of Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Anais Nin&#39;s Little Birds, and All The Kings Men (not read yet). Several of and related to Paul Bowles. 💜</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/SydneySheldon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SydneySheldon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PaulBowles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PaulBowles</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BookCollector" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BookCollector</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
