Naked Lunch

I'm glad I read some summaries and reviews of this book as I picked it up. It helped me understand that there is no plot and that it's a collection of loosely related vignettes. I kinda got it and I kinda didn't. I realize that this book is about the author's drug addiction and the vignettes are a mixture of actual events, hallucinations, and fantasies. It was very hard to follow. It's very stream of consciousness. I gave up trying to understand it and just reveled in the author's word choices and creative sentences. The book is beautiful, grotesque, offensive, funny, pathetic. And in the end, I feel like I don't know what I've read.
