This probably isn't going to be a terribly popular thread in that it consists of a)aimless boasting and b)a big list, but I still feel the need to tell everyone..
The most extrordinary thing happened to me the other day - I discovered this absolutely amazing bookshop which I never knew was there before. A really alternative / counterculture type place stocking books on politics, occultism, cinema, art, music, drugs, sex, beat generation stuff, weird fiction etc.
And it was closing down (which was sad) - and every book in the place - including expensive hardbacks, small press editions etc. - was going for about £2 (which was great!). I nearly exploded.
So anyway, I've literally dragged home the following in a big box:
Jack Hunter (ed.) – Moonchild: the films of Kenneth Anger
Nikolas Schreck – The Satanic Screen: an illustrated guide to the devil in cinema
Necronomicon: the journal of horror and erotic cinema, Volume #3
Necronomicon: the journal of horror and erotic cinema, Volume #4
Stewart Home - Cranked Up Really High: genre theory and punk rock
Alan Bishbort & Parke Puterbaugh – Rhino’s Psychedelic Trip
Zodiac Mindwarp – FUCKED BY ROCK: the confessions of Zodiac Mindwarp
Joel McIver – Extreme Metal: a guide
Wolf-Dieter Dube - The Expressionists
Noam Chomsky – Manufacturing Consent
Terrence McKenna – food of the gods
Antonio Melechi (ed.) – Psychedelia Brittania
William Burroughs & Allen Ginsberg – The Yage Letters
William Burroughs - Queer
Jack Kerouac – Lonesome Traveller
Lydia Lunch – Incriminating Evidence
Nick Cave - King Ink
Ken Hollings – Destroy All Monsters
Brad Gooch - Zombie 00
Hubert Selby Jr. – the Demon
Charles Bukowski & R. Crumb - there's no business
Oh what a wonderful day.
I hope the owner of the shop didn't see me as some guy who never bought anything when the books were expensive but turned up to clean up on the sale - I tried my best to explain that I honestly, genuinely didn't know the place existed.. |
