I am currently reading Great Apes by Will Self, quite bizaare, it features a man who goes on a night of debauchary and wakes up living in a world run by apes, i haven't got that far in it yet, but it is very witty and verbose. He uses words that i have never even seen in my life before.
Just finished Clans of the Alphane Moon by Philip K D!ck, not as good as Do Robots dream of Electric Sheep, but surreal and interesting none the less. It can be quite hard to keep hold of where the story is going but interesting none the less.
Recommendations:
That depends, i read a great deal of crime novels, James Ellroy is my current favourite, out of his books i would recommend the Big Nowhere and American Tabloid, both really good and even the prose is written to the times, so it has a kind of bebop feel to it

American Tabloid features a great deal of what surrounded the Kennedy assasination, like the bay of pigs etc.
I'd have to get drunk every night and talk about virility...And those Pink elephants I'd see.
