What you don't realize is I already have over 100 unread books in queue in my room... I promise one day I will read it though.

Yeah I have heard Naked Lunch is quite difficult, but I have also heard the construction involved a narrative that was cut up with scissors and pasted back together somewhat at random, so that it is difficult to figure out what the story was. I did read his book Junkie and enjoyed it though, so it might be alright.

As for Islam I know nothing about it beyond people saying things about getting a bunch of virgins when you die and Mohammed being their boy and Mecca and Medina being important. I have an ok handle on Christianity now due to some apologetics I've read, so I figured it'd be worthwhile finding out about another. If I win the lottery I will head out West for the coast, but until then NO DICE.
