Writing WWII propaganda *for the BBC*

Actually, my head can be about even between artifact and literature (at least contents-wise, re the latter), and so is this book (at *least* that much literature)

no offense, but maybe give precedence to non heinlein too? i mean, stranger in a strange land or starship troopers okay, but

Haha, point taken. Should have added I also tend to let as much genre stuff in as possible to keep the polls from getting too predictable.

didn't vote but would have gone for Algren I think. Did love teh books i read by him think I was turned o by some music pres coverage of people Like Nick Cave or possibly just the writers enjoying him.
Film with Frank Sinatra's quite good.
As is Walk On The Wild Side

Failing that the Genet . who I eally should read more by. Think it has been a while since i did read him. Definitely read a lot of the basic stuff in my late teens.
I have the Sartre book on him lying around somewhere too.

MIshima
Celine
THompson
Hamsun
are all good, even if a couple of them are like totally fascists

actually I think the Celine there was one i had in a translation by Billy Childish too.

Must compile these lists then neglect to read the ones I do manage to find in charity shops, such a wonderful habit why break it now
