lol that the two I've read are Cocaine Nights and, er, Bridget Jones' Diary. I read the latter in response to "you can't just dismiss something if you haven't read it", and it was even worse than I was expecting it to be, so eh, that lesson was not learnt. I remember the Ballard as being pretty poor, though, so not sure I want to vote for that one either.

The Debt to Pleasure is actually pretty good, don't hate me for saying so. I'm going Ballard, a good example of his late style.

I'd like to save my vote so can I have two for 1997?

rereading infinite jest a few years ago was very frustrating and uneven and made me reflect a lot about what we expect from our white dude masterpieces but when i got to the last twenty or so pages i was like "yeah this is still like fucking incredible"

Expected enough backlash for it not to come anywhere close to winning but I'll admit I didn't expect it to straight up get zero votes.
